Q: Time Machine is extremely slow in Yosemite

Hello all. Anyone else having extreme slowness with backups to Time Machine in OS X Yosemite? I started a backup after I did the upgrade (and changed a few things like app installs) and it's backed up about 5.6MB of data in 30 minutes. It still says "Calculating time remaining..." in system preferences for Time Machine.

 

Is anyone else seeing this slowness when making backups?

Thanks

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I turned off wifi and stopped my antivirus scanning and it zipped through like it used to. (This was an incremental not initial backup). Then I turned the AV back on and added my TM disk as an exception to scanning. Good luck to all, D
