The total size for the restore was just over 90GB&#8211; it took just over 40 hours to restore completely.  That&#039;s nearly two days!  That&#039;s just wrong&#8211; there has to be a problem somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>To it&#039;s credit, it performed as advertised allowing me to restore my computer completely from a backup.  It just took longer than I believe it should have.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I&#039;m now backing up my machine on an internal drive and leaving the Time Capsule for future generations until there&#039;s a fix.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and don&#039;t believe the estimate.
