time machine slow in 10.7.5

The /var/folders/* is working for me:

- Turned off Spotlight

- My daily backup (it was fast)

- Deleted /var/folders/* and "securely empty trash"

- Shuted down computer

- Turned on Spotlight (indexing in a couple of minutes, no more)

- Copied 1GB of info in a new folder

- Back up now in Time Machine and in a couple of minutes the back up was finished

Hopefully it works permanently! You never know!

Cheers.

doesnt work

See, all are checked "NO". its fine im good.

Mine looks the same but I still get emails…

OMG look at the top of this page

Has it solved your problem?

I decided to take the plunge and do the /var/folders delete suggestion that Ramonf and Jskeen and others have been talking about. So far after the reboot, I restarted Spotlight and then did a 660 MB TM to Time Capsule backup with no stalling or problems (I watched the process through the system.log in Console).

I'm going to give it a real test later by importing some pictures off my Canon and then having it do the usual backup and see what happens. Hopefully that will go well... I'll keep you all posted.

Thank you Dr.Moe

It's solved my issue!

EPIC FAIL!

The /var/folders/* worked the first time but after one hour, in the second TM backup... TM is completely stuck in 60.7Mb of 74.5Mb... I give up. I'll wait for Apple's solution (I reported the problem last week).

Problem solved! Apple has just released a fixing update to 10.7.5.

I just clicked Software Update and downloaded the fix. It works! 4GB back up in a few minutes.

I don't see this in my update..and am not sure i'd want to be the first to install. Be cautious: If yo've reverted to 10.7.4, then 10.7.5 reappears in your software update options--but may be the problem-causing version

I didn't revert to 10.7.4. I just waited for the fix. I don't know about the consequences if you downgraded to 10.7.4...
