Hi folks, thought I'd ask some help with regards Apple Time Machine on an external SSD. I've discovered that that Time Machine is a 'low priority' process which means it's slow - particularly if you are in the habit of changing a lot of data - or if you are doing your Backup for the first time - it's estimating 5 hours for 225GB which is frightfully slow.
The whole point of getting the SSD was to speed up the backup process and I'm wondering if anybody uses a third party application to permanently speed up the Time Machine backup process by adjusting its priority? I have a MacBook Pro and understand that it will mean that the fans will probably come on if I change the priority, but it would mean the whole backup process can be fast rather than a slow.
