Hello,
How much longer on average does a GRT backup of an Exchange 2010 database take compared to a normal full backup?
Many thanks

This cannnot be defined as it will vary depending on various factors like size of the database, backup method (full or incremental), backup media (disk or tape), resources available on the server (memory,CPU).
The amount of time can vary a great deal and you may see a big difference between the amount of time taken for GRT vs NON GRT backups. This is normal because of the extra processing involved for GRT phase.
