Hacking NAND Backup time

[ivoyko]

First im not sure if this its the right place or its on Homebrew but let go to problem. I have a WiiU 32GB and im doing a NAND backup. Well its almost 24 hours now and still its almost 33% (00A3 from 03B3, i think a 0100 at least would be the third part). Well the thing its than i want know people with same WiiU how long can take this shit in be finished.

I don't think it should take that long, does your SD card have at least 33 GB free?

Typically and roughly:
20 minutes for SLC
more than 1 hour for SLCCMP (Vwii), despite being the same physical chip as the above it's aggressively reread 3 times for bad blocks, apparently
About 15 minutes for 8 GB MLC, proportionally 32GB should be little more than 1 hour

I thought mine took more than it should... 24 hours to just do 33% is ridiculous.

My 32GB WiiU took just over 3 hours to dump everything and I was using a fast SD card. Not that it matters, as long as it isn't class 2 or so card...

Stupid question but its my first time with this. U delete the games before do the nand backup? Maybe that do the backup more slow. The slow thing than never goes to backup at this time its the MLC.

That SD card is more than capable specs wise. Unless, there might be a case of incompatibility between that card and the console. You have any other SD card you can try?

I backed up my WiiU NAND as it was, I didn't delete anything, though I had very little in it, pretty much only game saves and it still took over 3 hours. AFAIK, I believe that the backup is a 1:1, block by block copy, so being full or empty it won't matter as it'll copy even empty areas.

Sadly its the only 64GB card than i have. I has it on my 3DS and i moved all my stuff to computer for use it with WiiU. Well... i think i go to wait a week or more before this finish. Its ridiculous.

Probably about as normal as a reply to the thread from 2017. Also no, not normal.
