 <title>Solution for Very Slow Time Machine Backup</title>
 <link>http://www.vitarara.org/cms/node/149</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Tonight I added an additional external disk to my  Time Machine managed backups. This leaves me with the following configuration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drobo with 2 * 500GB HD acting as the Time Machine Disk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;250 GB Internal being backed up by Time Machine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 * 250 GB FW External Drives being backed up by Time Machine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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&#039;t completed backing 40G of data. I did a rough calculation and it was averaging aproximately 300-400 kBs. Needless to say that&#039;s is quite disappointing. At first I suspected the Drobo. (I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m not a USB fan.) After some searching I realized it probably wasn&#039;t the Drobo.&lt;/p&gt;
