02:09:01 Restore finished right as I arrived home. Still has to import my mail, another 10 hours. And looks like BackBlaze needs to be reinstalled.
02:10:55 But so far, everything seems to be moving faster than I have seen in over a year. Example, Skype went from 30 min to open down to 2 min.
02:18:56 Ah. BackBlaze confused because I had told Time Machine not to back up its database some other time I had been troubleshooting. Oops.
03:10:10 Ok. BackBlaze going again now. Thinks all my drives are new. :-/. We’ll see if this slows things down againвЂ¦

16:27:00 GreatвЂ¦ The ext drive I had been running my iMac off has died too. Before I made a new clone. I do have recent time machine backup though.
16:44:49 Trying to get restore going to brand new drive before leaving for work. Also need car jumped cause Alex turned my lights on. Great morning!
17:01:06 Restore from latest Time Machine backup (about 27 hours old) to new out of the box external drive started. Expect this to take over 24h. :-/
17:02:16 I don’t believe I had any critical changes on that drive in those 27 hours. If I did, oh well I guess.
17:02:58 Initial restore estimate from Time Machine: 45 hours. It is dropping faster than real time though.
17:07:07 After this I think I may have to suck it up and replace the internal drive. Unless the new external works wonderfully. But no high hopes.
17:10:36 Jump start didn’t work. Guess I have to call AAA. Just awesome if this is something other than the battery. :-/
18:08:01 Car jumped successfully by AAA. My wife’s car just didn’t have enough juice. 34 hrs 56 min left on Time Machine restore. Going to work now.
