Apple - Running Questions

Upgraded my MacBook Pro last week to El Capitan.  So far I'm struggling to keep a positive attitude.  My issues follow.


     1) My laptop can now take longer than 30+ minutes to book, and in same cases I have to power off the machine and then power it back on in order to be able to log in.


     2) My Time Machine backups are now acting  up as well.  I want to get a couple of "good" backups before I completely format my machine and re-install the os.  However, my backups start and now never finish.  I'd replaced my existing external drive with a different one and when it runs it's not registering anywhere near the same size of the files as I have I disk.  This makes me question my backups.  I attempted to just do a file copy to an external drive and that fails saying that my file name is too long or I have an illegal character.


Bottom line, I used my system for work and this upgrade has really cost me confidence, time, and money.  Worse still, I haven't resolved my issues so I'm not up and running yet...
