Back up very slow

Thread needs solution

I downloaded the trial and was able to backup my entire PC (617 GB) overnight, but when I try to do an incremental backup it's very slow and seems to get stuck. In over 12 hours it was still at 7 hours remaining. I've done things suggested in the knowledge base, and restarted the process. It's been over 10 minutes and it continues to say backing up 69 MB. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hard to say without more information to go on (Logs might help).  There could be a # of reasons really though - things like a drive filling up, or if one them (source or destination) is network attached and/or being accessed wirelessly, drive physical issues (bad/dirty sectors, usb cables loose, needing to use a different UsB port on a system, using a USB hub that is faulty).  If it hasn't progressed, try rebooting an reseating cables and make sure the drive still has the same drive letter that it did when you first created the backup.  Give it a minute or two while it calculates, but if it's been more than 10 minutes, something is definitely wrong.
