Sep 3, 2015 6:16 PM in response to bambolbeeeby Grant Bennet-Alder,The initial backup to a new drive, if the previous one is not available, takes a very long time. USB-2 does not help. As long as it keeps making progress (the progress bar moves, however slowly) it will be fine.
You next backup will go very quickly by comparison.

Sep 4, 2015 12:41 AM in response to Grant Bennet-Alderby bambolbeee,Thank you grant for the response. that's what i thought last night but this AM someone disconnected it from my laptop(my dad, smh) and when i inserted it immediately this morning. As we speak, the progress bar hasn't change. but hard drive light is still blinking.
