something's wrong. i have 336 apps on my iphone and backups take about 30 seconds, maybe a minute if a lot of stuff changed.
there are apps that can cause backup times to increase dramatically. i have seen instances where a backup took a lot longer (10-15 minutes) after installing an app. when i deleted the app, the backup was back to its normal under a minute.
