Is it normal for an initial time machine backup w/encryption to take 12+ hours? I am backing up my MacBook Air which can’t be more than 100GB of data. It seems like it’s been stuck on “encrypting” for most of the day, very little movement on the status bar.

Take a look at this post:

Solved - Slow Time Machine Encryption Software

I am encrypting my Time Machine backup. It has 3.2 TB of 4 TB available. So far it has been encrypting for over 24 Hrs and is only at ~25% done. Is this normally about how long it takes?
