Slow backup speed (Mac)

Backup speed can vary greatly, because of factors like computer hardware and the number of photos to back up. 

If you have many files, it will take a substantial amount of time to complete the backup. However, once the initial backup is complete any subsequent backup will be much faster. This is because there aren't as many files that will need to be backed up. 

If you would like to improve the backup speed, we recommend closing all other background applications and making sure the computer doesn't go into sleep mode. 

• For instructions on how to turn off sleep mode for Mac, please see this article HERE.

If the backup speed is abnormally slow, for example, only a couple of files are done in over 3 hours period, our tech team could reset the AlbumSaver for you. Please leave us a message to get in touch with our tech support team or send us an email at support@albumsaver.com.
