Shouldn't take hours. Maybe something got "hosed". Bring up the task
manager and see what processes are running.

depends on the speed of the transfer to the media u are using and the
number of bytes to be backed up, the speed of your processor. heavy
compression can slow down the back up to. ie--hard to say!!
