Hello!
I recently installed Mavericks server on my old '08 iMac and connected two external HDDs to it to create a central location for backup of all my macs. Everything works, in the sense that my macbooks recognize the drives and I can transfer data between them. However, the time machine backups are slow!When I had these externals connected to my Airport Extreme, I was averaging around 9-10 Mbps up and down while transferring data/backing up.Now when I have these same drives connected to the iMac running server 3.0..... I'm lucky to see backup speeds hit 4Mbps. What am I doing wrong? Is the iMac too old to run this well?
