How long to copy 500MB?
Needed to increase storage for my Time Machine back up. Currently have a 500MB Seagate that's nearly full. Bought a new 2TB Seagate. The Time Machine instructions say to simply copy the Backups.backupdb folder from one to the other. I started it yesterday at about 4:30PM, it's now 2:18PM the next day. The transfer dialog box says "Copying 0 items to TimeMachine2" Further it says "1.25TB of 1.25TB - About 5 seconds"
This makes no sense as the old hard disk is only 500MB. How can it copy more than what's there?
Should I stop and start over? Is there something else wrong?
