We have a two MacBook Pros with 10.5.6, and just got an airport extreme and a powered USB hub to plug our Time Machine drives into.
I was able to run and complete Time Machine Back-ups, but my wife is not.
Hers take very long to prepare, even longer to transfer, and the one time we were able to see the "finishing" message, it seemed to error out there as well. (The bar said 599 items, 1kb, and was frozen.) Also while running Time Machine, programs crash, run slowly, and the computer generally underperforms (to put it mildly.)
We are now in the process of deleting here anti-virus software, and have tried to re-index spotlight in terminal, but if anyone has developed a punch out list of things to try I would love to hear about it.
