Another Case of Slow Backup
Yesterday, I successfully invoked SuperDuper for the first time. I wanted to backup a partition on one external drive to another external drive.
Source: One of four HFS+ partitions on a 3.5" SATA drive in a FireWire enclosure (MacAlly PHR-S100SUA) Destination: HFS+ partition on a 2.5" PATA drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure (SimpleTech Signature Mini) The source partition contained about 65GBs, including a couple of giant items like 12GB VMware Fusion file. The copying process took about 20hrs (SuperDuper! reported about .90MB/sec throughput). Is that right?? I feel like I might have been able to mark off all those ones and zeros on the disk a little faster with a refrigerator magnet. Another note, the first time I tried to backup, I forgot to first quit the VM in Fusion. When SuperDuper! got to that file, the entire computer promptly and completely froze, no cursor movement, no nothing. Now that is a severe and unforgiving crash. I'm running 10.5.5 on a 1.66GHz Mini. |
