Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my MBP.
Now backing up to my 2TB Time Machine.
Messages say 982GB (2,555,639 items) will be backed up, requiring 16 DAYS! to do it!!!??????
Huh? Really?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 4GB SDRAM; 500GB HD
I did some tests. For file transfer by ethernet I get about 100 MB/s or 800 Mb/s, close to the rated 1Gb/s. But for Time Capsule backup by ethernet, speeds range from 10 to 30 MB/s; and by wifi from 1 to 9 MB/s. Now to backup 1TB at 9MB/s we require... 31 hours. And at 1MB/s we require over 11 days.
16 days to Backup!
