Hello all,

I just got Toast 8 for my MacBook Pro and an external LaCie drive for backups. I was planning on using Deja Vu. I ran it last night, set it to back up my drive (I got an external bigger than my internal 120GB drive so I could do full backups without worry) and let it run. I woke up this morning, went to retrieve my laptop for the day and the backup was still running.

I have 46 gigs used on my internal drive... I am curious - is it just me or does it seem like backing up the 46 gigs should take a lot less time than six hours? I am curious if anyone else has had that experience or if I am just not realizing the time it really should take to do the full backup.

Thanks!
