Backup taking 19hours

New to WD products. I have installed MY passport for MAC and checking status it is saying 19 hours to back up??? Help is this normal

It is depend. Are you using TimeMachine Backup to backup your computer to My Passport? If you have a lot of files on your system then it will take awhile. You can change the setting in Time Machine Backup to backup files that your want.

Thanks. Will it be faster next time? Better idea once I have full back up of all files I will specify files next time

Appreciate the quick response

i think after full backup, it will do a backup of every one hour of the new or modify files. Yes it will be faster
