Yesterday I got a 500GB USB2 harddrive for Christmas from Santa to back up my machine, but the thing seems to be going sooo slow. It's being going several hours and its only so far backed up 29% of 80GB.

How long would you expect to take to backup 80GB via USB2? Am I right to be worried?

I should point out that I'm using the Lacie one click backup and not something swanky like Time Machine.
