The update continues apace. I actually worry that it's not taking nearly as long as usual, but that happened last time, too. I think it has to do with the fact that my laptop is pretty beefy for a laptop, that I'm using USB3 devices and that the updated software doesn't try to compress already compressed archives. I'm used to it taking a week, not two days.
As long as the final archive is the same or bigger as last year's, though, I'm not gonna really worry.
