Why do backups take so long?

20-45 minutes on avg.
I recently removed my backdrops library(13gb) from my user catalog. I deleted all but 8 projects and it takes the same amount of time
Disk usage is next to nothing during a backup.
If I were to just manually save all of the files from my programdata it takes only a couple of minutes
This really takes the enjoyment out of the process. I currently have to create a backup if I want to output an updated toolbar configuration to my team. 
Next thing I will try is deleting my user library and textures directory just to reimport it again after the backup, which seems ridiculous.

Don't use project management, problem solved. I have been using Carbonite for 20+ years and it backs up as I use the program, don't even notice.

Well, I hope they fix that and I might join you, I just like the thought of knowing back up is handled without leaving my computer on all night long.
