I think most of the issue is the efficiency (or lack of same) of the algorithms of the backup software. The initial backup will be slow, but subsequent ones should be fast, as only a fairly small number of files need to be copied. I tried a number of backup solutions and finally settled on one that, for me at least, was way faster than the others. It is the freeware Microsoft RichCopy. The UI is a bit rough, but for me, the backup speed makes up for that.
With my system, an incremental backup of a 2TB internal SATA drive to an external USB drive using RichCopy takes about 15 minutes.
