We have 4 servers - one which has Backup Exec 11d linked to an Ultrium 3 tape drive with the other servers having the Remote Agent installed on them.
Until two weeks ago the backup (410Gb) was taking around 7hrs to complete but then jumped to 11hrs
Looking at the backup log it shows that one of the servers is taking some 7hrs just to backup 40Gb - whereas before it was under 2hrs.
Our off-site IT guys have suggested several options already - reboot server, re-create the folders backed up, do "remote push" of the remote agent to that server - all to no avail
I wondered if the slow server was having a problem with its network card so copied a 1Gb file from it to another server and then back again but this took the same time both ways so that seems to suggest not.
Anyone got any thoughts on this as I think our external IT guys have no further ideas left to try.
