Slowwww copy using Smart Update

Hi,

I am using version 2.1.4 (v82). copying from iMac (about 160 gig). I am not sure if it's Super duper of my Lacie Firewire 400 ext drive but dam it takes forever to copy using Smart Update. last night i took 2 hours and 45 minutes to update about 4 gigs. today I worked on new 600 mb files mostly images and the "smart update" took about 30 minutes. Is this normal?

thanks

mic

Writing directly to it or to an image? Anything else on FireWire (e.g. iSight, etc)?

Don't know what to suggest, migo... doesn't sound like anything's obviously wrong.

yes, I thought so. I have been using superDuper for about 6 month now and it's been taking about 20-30 in avarage to backup, even if I didn't work that day. so either the smart update and not that smart or that just the way it is.

The OP said "mostly 600 MB files." Put a few of those together and you have some sizable, well, sizes. Then, there's the 160 GB amount. Based on my own experience, sometimes 20-30 minutes isn't unreasonable, especially if there are other factors such as processor speed, size of RAM, disk images for such things as FileVault, virtual machines, etc.
