Backup taking forever under 3.0

[DotCom2]

I had a bunch of updates to some of my App's so after updating them through iTunes I went to sync with my iPhone and it is taking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I seriously thought something was wrong when the progress bar just wouldn't budge but it is moving but I mean c'MON!
Anyone else experience a very long backup time after 3.0?

It is only the first backup that takes a long time. After that they should be quick again.

I hope this isn't how it's always gonna be!

yup, first backup after the update took about 45 minutes. i thin it runs off the same principle of Time Machine. first backup takes the longest because it backs up EVERYTHING, and all additional backups are shorter because they only backup what has changed sense the last backup.

all old backups are unusable after you did the 3.0 update, so the computer needed to remake a full backup for the iphone/touch

Mine did not take 45 mins. Do you espn app? If so remove it and try to backup again. It would be faster..

and I thought something was wrong with mine...

Mine took 20-25 minutes. But I only have an 8 Gig.

try killing it and retrying. I just did it and it seems much faster now...

Well I just backed up my iPhone and it took 30 minutes and there was nothing added or removed. Nor was it the first backup with new data. It should have only taken seconds for the sync!

Hey Apple, do something about this!

Since updating to 3.0 i have not managed to sync my iPhone. I have tried 4 times, waiting between 3 and six hours. It has never got further than half way! I need help!
