I used tmutil on my laptop to manually trigger a time-machine backup to my NAS from the command line. When you do this, you get a little summary at the end of exactly how long it took and how much data it copied:

Total copied: 2794.81 MB (2930567824 bytes)
Avg speed:    3.15 MB/min (55086 bytes/sec)

430 kilobits/second over gigabit ethernet, now that’s some serious time travel!
