Since I updated the OS X Lion to 10.7.5 in my MacBook Pro 2011 Time Machine has become incredibly slow.
I'm doing a backup right now, destination: Time Capsule 2TB (1Gb free space) is just 31 Mb and Time Machine is frozen on 21.5 Mb for more than half an hour. Yesterday the same problem, incredibly slow.
I remember that just one week ago, before update the OS to backup 31 Mb it would take just 5 minutes.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
It seems that a little wizard solved the problem with a small patch called OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update.

The Update size is less than 2mb and now everything is fine in my MacBook Pro, Time Machine and Spotlight are working as before. I indexed my HD in less than 30 minutes.
The supplemental update solved my problem. For days I was getting the message that my backup would take 33 or more days. After the 10.7.5 supplemental update on 10/7 I was able to backup 90Gb in less just a few hours.
Tearing hair out . .
- disabled Spotlight using "privacy" in System Preferences
- tried to turn off Spotlight with Terminal but got "launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.metadata.eds"
- thrown out update in progress
- installed Lion supplimental 10.7.5.5
Any other ideas out there??
Time Machine incredibly slow
