Remember, it's always the cable
by Volker Weber
Gruber notes:
I use a USB hub, too. I tried the direction connection, and damn if it didn't complete a full sync in five minutes.
Guys, this is ridiculous. You cannot complain about the iPhone needing hours for a backup if you downgrade your connection to USB 1.0.

Not everyone has a brain the size of Volkers
Actually a smaller brain helps: it's always the cable.
Ehm, I don't think high speed is the issue here - as I bet John Gruber can afford a high speed hub. Everyone talking about the problem says that the backup _on the same setup_ worked flawlessly before - so I guess it is some protocol issue with a connection with a hub -- be it "Full" or high speed.
