Just for information (unless Dave tells us there is something odd going on here).

I'm presently 25hrs 43 minutes in to copying about 750GB of Time Machine data from one FW400 drive to a FW800 drive.

And this is the smart update! So far it's evaluated 624GB, found that 1,908GB is up to date (got to love those hard links) and copied 195MB.

The real killer I suspect is the number of files. 24 Million to do and 16 Million done so far.

I suspect I have a few more hours to run.
