Thanks chris but unfortunately the back up failed because even though c gate gives me the option for mac and pc it tells me something about paragon, sorry I don’t remember exactly and it says its not compatible, and then it tells me if I want to make the disk mac only but I cannot do that because it wants to erase all my files. I have my music, files, documents, etc. I view and use these files with windows and I cannot get rid of them. So now I’m stuck again. Since I can’t use the 64 gb stick I have and the 2 tb c gate drive is not compatible, I cannot back up the mac, therefore I cannot upgrade to el capitan either. So I spent 3 days killing my brain trying to figure out things on the mac and now it looks like it was all for nothing.

I think it really just depends on how much data you are actually backing up. I have a friend who backed up about 300GB of data to Time Machine, and from what I vaguely remember her saying, it took somewhere around 5 hours. Chris.

All most 3 hours ago I clicked menu extras, time machine, back up now. I have an external drive connected should it be taking this long? How can I know the progress or time left for the back up to finish? -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
