Time Machine takes hours for small backups
Hi guys,
Since one or two weeks or so - maybe since the last ML-update which said it will fix the problem that the time-machine-backup takes a long time for the backup process - my Time Machine takes several hours for backups that are maybe 1 or 2 GB big. I have a 1-TB-Seagate external FW800 drive which should complete such backups in a few minutes, but as I said, it takes more like 2 or 3 hours. I use the Time Machine Editor so I just make a backup every 8 hours, that helped a bit because the time machine doesn't try to backup while another backup is still pending but it didn't solve the slowness-problem. I already shut spotlight off and on again, but that didn't help - I have another problem with Spotlight; it doesn't stop indexing, but I'll mention that in another question - so now that I read through several Google pages and didn't find anything of help I'll ask here, maybe here's someone who can help me.
Feel free to suggest solutions that actually come up in Google searches I already did, maybe I was just too stupid 😉
Greetings
