Time machine takes very long time

Time machine takes very long time to write the back up.
For writing 2,33 GB (from 26,33GB) it takes abou14 hours and I don't know, why it is so very slow. I work with USB 3.0 2 TB external hard disk drive.

Time Machine takes very long time to back up with new large drive

I started using Time Machine on my 17" MBP about a month ago. I was using a 250 GB Samsung drive. When I discovered that TM will back up other external drives (I have several firewire pocket drives), I purchased a 500 GB Cavalry drive with USB 2.0 and eSATA connections. The first backup of my MBP drive (about 85 GB) took several hours (4-6?). I backed up one of my pocket drives (about 60 GB), which took 3-4 hours. Then, when I changed the back-up drive in Time Machine to the new 500 GB drive with the eSATA connection, I stopped it after an hour, because only 2 GB had been backed up. I erased the drive and restarted using the USB connection. It backed up 3 GB in an hour. So, now I'm back to using the original back-up drive. I've performed benchmark tests on all drives (the Samsung 250, Cavalry USB and eSATA 500 GB, and the MBP internal drive) with Xbench. The USB speeds on the Samsung and Cavalry drives came out about the same with a slight edge to the Cavalry drive. The eSATA connection with the Cavalry drive operated at over twice the speed of the USB connections and at about twice the speed of the MBP internal drive (which is a 1.5 Gb/s SATA drive). Basically, I can't figure out why Time Machine takes so incredibly long to back up when I switched to the new drive. Any ideas?

It took me 20 hours to backup 32GB out of 65. I don't know why. Using carbon copy clone to download to another backup drive I did it perfectly in about 30 minutes. I expect that those appllications which show applicatiions are at fault and will try later getting rid of apps such as F-10 and pathfinderfor the first download. I have no idea why this is so slow. Everything is so slow.

Time machine takes very long time and does not finish the backup

Hi,
Time machine is unable to backup my 2014 Mackbook Air 128 GB Drive anymore.
I have tried numerously to initiate a backup but it could only backup a very small volume, less than 1KB, then stall for hours without any progress.
I tries to repair my volume, using the Disk Utility, but it still does not backup, except for the 1K progress.
I have noticed that "Spot Light" indexing is also taking forever. It has been indexing for days without any pogress.
What is going on.
What should I do to fix it.
My latest successful backup was on Jul 25.
Please help.
Thanks.

After entering Time Machine-takes a long time to load. Thoughts?

I've just installed Yosemite, and backed up to my Time Capsule over wifi. I can enter Time Machine easily enough, but when I go to choose a date earlier than 'NOW," it says "waiting." Eventually, it loads. But it can take up to 15-20 minutes. I didn't have this problem before upgrading to Yosemite. Thoughts? Thanks much.

Retrieving free/busy information from the server takes very long time

Hello, we are running Outlook 2010 32-bit in Windows 7 64.bit, and have encountered a strange problem, whenever we want to book
a resource (i.e. conference room) from Scheduling assistant, it takes very long time, sometimes even more than a minute to see the utilization of the room, it being stuck at "Updating schedule information. Retrieving free/busy information from the server"
The interesting thing is that most newly deployed PCs exhibits this same behavior, while older machines with basically the same setup gets the availability information almost immediately.
It is unclear whether this is a server setting or desktop issue, as all new Windows 7/Outlook machines that are deployed from the WDS-server exhibits the same slow behavior.
Please advise any troubleshooting steps to investigate the very slow retrieval lookup of free/busy information from the Exchange server.

Hi,
Does this issue occur on OWA?
If no, it means the issue is mainly related to the Outlook client.

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

Is there any way to increase the performance.

Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

Application build takes very long time

Recently building applications has started taking a very long time. Before, similar applications took 30 seconds or less for a build, but currently 5-10 minutes is not uncommon.
The perplexing part is how the time is distributed. The builder will spend 3-5 minutes each on the first two "processing" tasks it undertakes, namely:
Processing NI_AALPro.lvlib...
Processing NI_Gmath.lvlib...
Which amount for about 1% of the progress bar. Once it finished processing these two libraries, the final 99% finishes in about 3 seconds.
Has anyone run into this issue before? I suspect I've misplaced files for the two libraries causing the hangup and the builder is having to go searching for them, but I don't know how to remedy this situation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I find that when I include DAQmx in my build it can take up to 30 minutes to build an Installer. I have not seen this with builds that dont include DAQmx though.

ODI Planning metadata load takes very long time

Hi,
I am using ODI for Hyperion Planning metadata load.
We are facing performance issues, as the process is taking a very long time.
The process uses "LKM File to SQL" and "IKM SQL to Hyperion Planning"
The number of rows to process in the file is around 70000. The file is generated from DRM. The ODI integration process takes around 2 hours to process and load the file to Planning. Even if we add 1 new row to the file and everything else remains same in the file, the process takes that long.
So, the whole process takes around 3 hours to load to Planning for all dimensions.
I tried increasing the fetch rows to 200 in source but there is no significant increase in performance. The Heap size is set to maximum of 285 MB in odiparams.bat.
How can the performance be improved?
Can I use different LKM or change any other setting?
Thanks,
RS

Hi John,
In my current implementation, the dimension hierarchies are maintained in DRM.
So, business directly makes changes in DRM and exports the hierarchies in a text file.
I agree that loading 70000 records is odd on regular basis, but it makes it easier for business to retain control of their hierarchies and maintainance is easy in DRM.
On bulk loading to DB table and loading to Planning, I have 2 questions:
1. Do you think that "LKM SQL to SQL" [Oracle to Planning] will have significant improvement in performance over "LKM File to SQL" [File to Planning], as we are still using "Sunopsis Memory engine" as staging area?
2. I checked your blog, there you have suggested using "Sunopsis memory engine" for "LKM SQL to SQL".
Is it mandatory to use "Sunopsis emory engine" as staging area, can we use any other user defined staging area [Oracle tables]?
Cheers,
RS

Query Designer writeing formula takes very long time

Experts,
When i try to write a formula. The query designer is taking very long time to navigate.
One formula is taking 20 mins to write.
1. I have upgraded my laptop memory to 2 GB of Ram
2. I am on 7.10 SP4 Patch 1. Had the same issue with the previous versions.
Please suggest a resolution.
The QD has tested my patence. I am sure no body wants to create a query for 2 days. There has to be a problem somewhere causing this.
Thank you.

Vinod,
Save the query and then exit BW sessions, also restart your system.
It might be a problem with main memory of your laptop or BW server load.
But 20mins is too long for any kind of definition in query designer.
Please check these things, perhaps it helps.
Thanks,
