Speed is not really an issue here as this will be a one off process rather than something I do on a regular basis. It is going to take a long time no matter what as I will be backing up 50-100 Gb of data. I recently realised that I have been dumping stuff to this box for a long time and have never made a backup of it. So, I thought I would back it up prior to upgrading / updating it.
Thanks for the link, it does look like a good hands on howto.
