[Itms-backup-beta-testing] Unable to duplicate problem

[Mario D. <mar...@ma...>]

I tried to duplicate Bruce's problem: a 10-15 second hang until the 
scroll bar starts scrolling. I didn't have much luck.

I took my iTunes folder (residing in my Music folder) and moved it to a 
Zip Disk USB drive. I then removed the the original (on my hard drive) 
to another location, replacing it with an Alias to the folder on the 
Zip drive.

Zip Disk drives and USB both are not known for speed. When I press 
"Backup Purchases," however, the GUI updates immediately: the scroll 
bar scrolls, the buttons are disabled, and the "Building database..." 
label appears. There is no perceptible hang.

If anyone can reproduce Bruce's problem, please let me know.
