Welcome

Hi, you've reached the website of Mark Menard, Freemason, developer, businessman, photographer, motorcyclist and all around nice guy.

The main joy in my life is Sylva, my loving partner and friend. (You will see plenty of pictures of her. Also check out our site.) My professonal career is running a consulting firm concentrating on business automation and custom software. I enjoy software development, motorcycles, photography, dancing, freemasonry and travel.

Here you will find galleries of my latest photos, thoughts on software development, freemasonry, the occassional politics, and other things. Enjoy your time here.

Solution for Very Slow Time Machine Backup

Tonight I added an additional external disk to my Time Machine managed backups. This leaves me with the following configuration:

Drobo with 2 * 500GB HD acting as the Time Machine Disk
250 GB Internal being backed up by Time Machine
2 * 250 GB FW External Drives being backed up by Time Machine

After adding the second external drive to the Time Machine Backup I kicked off a backup manually. I proceeded to ignore it and do some coding. After a few hours it hadn't completed backing 40G of data. I did a rough calculation and it was averaging aproximately 300-400 kBs. Needless to say that's is quite disappointing. At first I suspected the Drobo. (I'll admit I'm not a USB fan.) After some searching I realized it probably wasn't the Drobo.
