> ...I am still using laptops with mostly USB 2.0 ports and internal SATA SSD's. That means dealing with very slow backups. I seem to be forever making backups. Eventually, laptops manufactured before 2012 will be too slow to do the things I need to do... This my dilemma as well. I love me some older machines (thinkpad as one example), but the slowness of those older components kills me for running backups. Yeah, i know that there are tools which backup only deltas, etc...but scripting for legacy backups methodology seems so much easier for my brain...i guess either i have to get newer machines, or adapt to leveraging those backup tools that rely on deltas (in essednce sending less over the usb dongles). /old-man-rant-over
