Erasing time machine and starting a new back up.

Takes time. I erased my La Cie PORSCHE DESIGN 500GB external hard drive and started a whole new Time Machine back up. I only have 190GB to back up (2013 iMac) but so far it has taken 45 hours and 35 minutes and backed up 167GB. Fingers crossed that all will be well. I estimate the back up will have taken about 52 hours.


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
