Time Machine Backup Issue Now Resolved in 9.5.3! [Updated]

**Update 2**

9.6.1 is now available and should resolve the issue.

 

**Update**

We are aware that some users are still experiencing the error in 9.5.4, apologies. We are looking into the matter and may reach out to you individually for logs.

 

Hello,

The Time Machine issue which caused slow back-ups in 9.5.2 is now resolved in 9.5.3. The rollout starts today and you will be automatically upgraded. The rollout is staggered, but everyone should have 9.5.3 by October 26th.

Regards,

Bob

  • Hi got the 9.5.4 update this morning, so far the backup I am running is still extremely slow.

     

     

     

     

    Update, Ok its a little better, it only took 10 hours to complete instead of 3 days.

  • Just updated to 9.5.4 and rebooted. Since I'm still using Yosemite, I can't speak for performance issues on Sierra, but while the Time Machine backup delay was solved in 9.5.3, the initial "Preparing" phase wasn't. The good news is that running 9.5.4, the "Preparing" notice is barely visible because it flies by so fast.[;)]

  • Mackbook Pro, with updates OS Sierra, and using Airport Time Machine........

     

    updated to new 9.5.4 antivirus.

    Preparing backup take 15-20 minutes, and backups take forever.

    additionally, I performed a backup, 1.2 gigs of data at noon today. I then performed another backup about 50 minutes later, and it's backing up 1.45g of data..... I did not use my macbook or perform downloads of that much data in that time. Very strange.

     

    I once again disabled on-access scanning.

     

    -edit- after disabling on-access scanning, time machine backing up as normal wirelessly. preparing for backup is shorter, and it backed up 50MB......... this test was done 20 after the previous scenarios.

  • Hi Gordon,

    Thank you for the information. The issue is still present in 9.5.4 and we are currently working on it. Will communicate more once there is a fix. Apologies.

  • I also have this issue on Sierra/9.5.4/remote backup.

    I'm using an SMB target on a Synology NAS (not AFP) if that differentiation is helpful in debugging. The Synology is running 6.1 beta (which enables Bonjour time machine broadcasts for SMB shares), I updated to the beta hoping SMB would eliminate this problem I had with AFP -- no dice of course.

    Please reply to post when there's an update. Thanks devs!
