You may want to do it overnight. MenuMeters works for any computer running Mac OS X 10.4 and above, including 10.10 Yosemite (which is what were using). Note that it may take from a few minutes to many hours, depending on the items stored in the disk and the disk speed (SSD is much faster than the mechanical rotational ones). Then remove it to allow Spotlight to rebuild its index. Then drag and drop the full booting disk (or the one that is backed up) there. If not fixed and Time Machine takes forever again, rebuild Spotlight index selecting "Apple - System Preferences - Spotlight - Privacy".You set up MenuMeters in a system preference pane, adding any or all of. Time Machine takes about 15 seconds to perform each backup there! MenuMeters is a free, open-source, small-footprint set of menubar tools for monitoring CPU, disk, memory, and network usage.
In my case, that worked like a charm on macOS 10.12.6 (16G2136) Sierra using internal booting SSD 2TB from Apple (Samsung) on iMac 27-inch 5K Retine (mid 2017) and external Time machine Samsung Portable SSD T5 2 TB.
If required, stop again Time Machine (if it takes forever again) and once stopped, select "Time Machine - Back Up Npw".Stop Time Machine backup clicking the "X" on the screen capture above.If the CPU goes over the roof, as shown by Apple Activity Monitor (mds–stores) or MenuMeters (see below), Time Machine "Preparing backup…" takes forever when it should be done in seconds or similar, and Apple Mail and Finder Spotlight (File - Find) find nothing, chances are that Time Machine is checking the Spotlight FSEvents database to see what has changed since the last backup, and that that such database is corrupted or there is some other problem.
