woah woah woah, i thought all iphones took 10 - 24hrs to back up! I've had several generations and they've taken longer and longer as I've owned them.
I have a brand new high end PC since I've also upgraded computers over the years of owning iPhones, and each PC, even this blazing new one takes forever to back up the iPhone.
Right now my 3GS 32GB is backing up and its been going 12hrs, only 40-something% through. I started to look into this and found some information in the task manager of Windows 7 where it shows you the detailed processes that are happening. It looks like the only thing that's active is from 2 - 6 Mbps of "Network I/O" activity using the Apple backup process! What??
I looked at the actual data on the Ethernet port and there is 0 data moving around, so its definitely the backup for some reason using a network IO to send data to the PC.
Can someone fix this problem? My iPhone has now activated my morning alarm, and there's no way to turn it off, just "snooze" plus my screen has been on all night from the backup. I feel backups may actually kill my iphone and drive me insane.
