Hey all,
Ever since I got an SSD last month, I've been using Time Machine so that it makes automatic backups to my NAS.
It's a nice system, and I was happy because I've never had a backup drive before, so it was nice to know that if something bad happened, I would be protected.
However, I'm finding that during the backups if I try and do anything it slows it down or things freeze up. For example, if I'm in Chrome surfing the net and it's backing up, I'll click a link and it will take forever to load, and if I open a new tab Chrome it's pretty much non-responsive. If I try and open an application, it will just bounce in the dock and not load.
Then after about a minute or so of thinking about it, all the stuff I wanted to do will happen. I.e. The app will load, the new tab will launch, the link I clicked a minute ago will open etc.
Anyone get this?
Also - every so often it will ask me to do a brand new backup. It wasn't a problem at first, but now I've filled the drive up a bit, it's got to do backups of 80GB and the estimated time is around 24 hours! That means 24 hours of freezing up and not loading!
Any help would be massively appreciated
Thanks,
Marky
