Depends on the software, it is normally best to do a backup overnight when the laptops is not in use bit it can take anything between 4-7 hours one of my clients has a 253gb backup and that take 5 and a half hours but that is on a server and using Symantec backup exec.

Thanks for your help cheers! Sandy
