Backing up the old phone with iMazing (because @CTD keeps reminding me it exists) and it's been on "1 hour and 8 minutes" since it started, two hours and 32% ago. Which amuses me.

(Probably because I'm backing up to an external disk using APFS which is dog-slow on spinning rust but there's no other option for encrypted disks these days and 4TB SSDs are still a bit pricey compared to rust.)

@zimpenfish if it eventually finishes you will have a valuable archive.

@CTD Had to reformat my external disk to HFS+ to get it to work (which was fine, it was empty anyway) but it eventually finished (after about 7 hours.)
