RE: should it be taking this long?
Thanks chris but unfortunately the back up failed because even though c gate gives me the option for mac and pc it tells me something about paragon, sorry I don’t remember exactly and it says its not compatible, and then it tells me if I want to make the disk mac only but I cannot do that because it wants to erase all my files. I have my music, files, documents, etc. I view and use these files with windows and I cannot get rid of them. So now I’m stuck again. Since I can’t use the 64 gb stick I have and the 2 tb c gate drive is not compatible, I cannot back up the mac, therefore I cannot upgrade to el capitan either. So I spent 3 days killing my brain trying to figure out things on the mac and now it looks like it was all for nothing.

I think it really just depends on how much data you are actually
backing up.
I have a friend who backed up about 300GB of data to Time Machine,
and from
what I vaguely remember her saying, it took somewhere around 5 hours.

Re: should it be taking this long?
I’d like to say a few things, now that I am catching up on this thread. Firstly, I am so sorry, Zoey, that you are feeling this way! This should absolutely *never!* be the way anyone should have to feel who is learning a new piece of technology. I don’t care if it is an I O S device, a Windows machine, a mac, etc. I unfortunately do not have calling to Canada from either a lan line, or a cell phone, however, I’ll tell you what. Even if you have to talk to me this way through the Windows side of things instead of the mac, I’d be absolutely thrilled to talk to you over Skype, or Facetime, if that would help. I promise that you will get this. Let me just encourage you by saying this: though I am a very very advanced, and very quick learner, the mac did take me some time, after only using Windows to get used to. It wasn’t so much I didn’t understand it, nor that I didn’t know how to do certain things with the mac. I just found it a bit awkward. The biggest thing for me was, I was patient, and didn’t allow myself to get overwhelmed. When I started to feel frustrated, I put the mac aside, and just took a break. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. And please don’t beat yourself up! We all have different learning levels, strategies, and processes for learning certain things. For example, I do better when someone actually takes my hand and guides me step by step. Once shown, I generally can figure things out once I know the basics. On the other hand, others may find this method very frightening. You have to find a balance of what works best for you with your given circumstances. And, not a single person should tell you you’re asking too many questions. I’m sorry, but anyone doing that is a neurotic jerk! Anyway, I hope this at least gives you some encouragement/motivation. Don’t ever feel that there is a stupid question. The only stupid question is the one you fail to ask.
