I guess the backup was interrupted somehow [cant guess how] because it
was finished way too fast in around 1 hr and never ever has it gone
this fast to transfer around 80gb of data.It always took around 5/6
hrs on my machine.
But again, When i checked the external drive,it actually contained
80gb of data.. !!
I'm begining to think of some disk errors..
