Default Hmmmm...... No noticeable improvement.

Tried the patch... SP20740 right ?

Performed a normal reset. Started another backup. Space needed for backup is up to 10MB (woo-hoo!).

It has now been 15 minutes and the backup is barely over 30% complete.

I guess I would like to know if this is similar to anyone else's experience before I start chasing my tail with more patches, uninstalls, reinstalls etc. If this is the best I can expect.... well it sucks but OK then it sucks.... time to look at alternatives.

Or am I just missing something obvious ? It wouldn't be the first time.

Thanks to Jason and any and all others who care to comment.

==============================================
Update - 10225.15KB backed up to SD card in 53 minutes.
However I then tested another theory that the slow speed may be in the IPAQ backup utility. I copied a 2.5MB wav file from main memory to the storage card and the total copy time was almost exactly 2 minutes. Not wonderful but much better than the backup utility. I guess that makes sense if you don't think about it too carefully.

Maybe I will just work out some sort of batch process to copy all files instead of running backup.

... or maybe I'll just go to bed.
