I have just installed a 300GB second drive in my G5 1.8SP and made it my boot drive. I erased my Time Machine backup disk and started from scratch. It took 20 hours to complete the first backup save and I see this occupies 250GB of space whereas the used space on the drive being backed up is only 130GB. I do not remember such a long time to back up or such a large backup space usage under 10.5.1. By way of comparison, SuperDuper clones the same disk in just over 6 hours. Additionally under 10.5.2, Time Machine crashes and needs a forced restart if the Mail window happens to be the open window when opening Time Machine. This was not the case with 10.5.1.
Does anyone else have similar experiences or comments?

Happy Labour Day to all!
