Time machine back up

I’ve got an old Mac, and I’m trying to back the whole thing up. Got a usb and started Saturday…..it’s still backing up. Is this because of the amount of data needing backing up (500GB) or am I doing something wrong?

Likely it's just stuck. I suggest you stop the process, erase the drive and start over.


First backups do take longer, but from Saturday to Monday is not reasonable; couple of hours is more like it .
