First backup tends to run much faster than subsequent, incremental backups...What are the commands to see the logs in the console app?

Has anyone experienced slow backups with Time Machine? &nbsp;Right now, I have 1.11GB to backup and it says 4 hrs (only backed up 60MB). &nbsp;I am on a GB network and we are backing up to a NAS. &nbsp;I copied my VM (80GB) to the network (same destination NAS) in about 10 minutes a few days ago so it's not network speed, disk speed, etc.

Apple Software

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
