How Long to Backup 46GB
Newbie here. My first image backup took almost two hours. Is this normal or did I choose wrong options for the backup?

Typically, assuming normal compression and priority, you should assume about 30 secs per GB on newer machines up to about 1 min / GB for older machines so long as you're not backing up to an early USB (usb 1) device, which would be about ten times slower.
If you have high compression, wll this greatly increase time for a small savings in size. Otoh, using low compression will not greatly reduce time unless you mostly have already compressed files like mp4, mp3, jpg, etc. Since these won't compress (or wont' compress much) using compression of them gives you the overhead without any appreciable results in space savings.Still, being in normal compression mode should cause a significant slowdown. Are other activities running during backup?
