I have a HDD with 2 partitions, one of which is for time machine. The other partitions has movies and such. If I copy a movie from the HDD, it transfers at a normal speed.

However, if I tell Time Machine to do a backup, it will take 30 minutes or more to backup numbers like 32KB. Why is this? I never remember time machine being this slow.



Edit: as a reference, shortly after I posted this thread, it went from backing up 32 out of 32KB to "finishing backup," and 15 minutes later, it is still "finishing backup"
