The first backup takes forever, subsequent ones take almost no time.
Thanks Bruce for the detailed explanation.
In my experience of trying Apple's TM ifound that my computer's
processor is tied up ( iMac 3.06 GHz/4G ram 1TB hard drive ) whereby the
other processing are slower then a snail especially video/audio projects.
Therefore iuse SuperDuper running over nite.
I have become less paranoid about doing back ups such as the old advice
of mailing a back up copy to a friend or burying a copy in the
backwoods. ;-) If something goes wrong these days ido an archival
install, apply a combo update from a DVD copy plus any other Software
updates Apple finds.
For example recently after doing an OS 10.6.6 update i had the infamous
red-flashing screen problem seen in My Living Desktop and a host of
other programs. The recovery from that until a fix came out was to do
the archival install etc etc. The new archival install is a breeze not
like the previous method where you had to drag files from here to there
and trash this or trash that.
