Hi I'm making ready for Karmic, and backing up my data on an external USB harddrive.
My backup speed is 28.2 MB/sec,
Is this normal? How fast is your backup speed?

Thats pretty normal for a USB 2.0 external. I dont think I've ever seen one go over 35MB/sec ;)

I was going to say that. I think when I last did a full backup I was getting around 30MB/sec.

Thanks guys, it just felt a bit slow, but I suppose that's how it is when what you really want is to be installing the all new amazing Ubuntu. ;)

That's why I backed up everything yesterday before the release. :-D

Ya thats right for a USB, faster than most of my flash drives, bar my Cruzer Micros :)
My backups to my servers, go at 7Mbytes/s. One of these days, I must invest in Gigabit hardware :)
