I use time machine backup on a Lacie External 2TB HDD to backup my MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) running Tahoe 26.5.1.

Everything worked normally for years, but now the backup says that it would take several days to finish and the progress is extremely slow.
The USB connection should be fine:

This is the "get info" on the drive:

This is the "progress":

The external drive has the Mac OS Extended file system, which seems not to be the best option, which would be APFS. However, previously the backup also worked. I doubt that the "old" file system is the reason. I also changed the cable. Any ideas?
