If there are any Mac users out there using Time Machine for their backups, I came across a nice (safe) file system hack that increases the band file size in the Time Machine’s sparsebundle.
The default size of the band files is around 8Mb, meaning that an 800Mb backup will create around 100 band files. That means my 500Gb Time Machine backup approaches hundreds of thousands of band files. By increasing the band files size Time Machine doesn’t have to open these massive numbers of files when backing up or restoring. This is especially difficult if you’re backing up over a network share. I can elaborate privately for anyone who is interested. It’s a fairly simple change done in Terminal.
