Why do my tiny backups use so much bandwidth and take so long to complete to my Time Capsule?
Time capsule-based incremental backups seem to just eat bandwidth and take a l o n g time to complete. How do I fix this?
The time capsule icon just spins and spins, and my network monitor consumes multiple megabits per second, often for hours when backing up my Macbook Air to the time capsule. It doesn't matter if it is connected via wired or wireless. And I'm not talking about backing up lots of data, I'm talking about a regular backup of 5-6MB per backup. This is taking much much longer than expected, both in the preparation and finishing stages as well..

I’m sad and frustrated

Inappropriate?I usually let it backup at night before I go to bed I let it do it's thing. When I wake up next morning It will have backup to it's heart's content (no pun intended). During the day I do not allow it to connect.
That works for me...
