Hi
We are using backup exec 10d and trying to do a full backup of our exchange 2003 mailboxes, the job started on Friday evening and is still going Monday am. The mailbox size is very large (186GB) but 62hrs is very excessive, the job rate seems very slow too at 66mb/min.
Is there anyway I can speed this up or am I going to have to ditch this product?
Any ideas would be welcome.

Try following steps
1) Install latest Service pack and update the remote agent.
2) To isolate the issue check the backup speed of a flat file backup and DB backup.
3) Copy around 1GB of data from the remote server to the media server to check the network
performance.
4) Check the fragmentation level of the drive that you are backing up.
Note: Symantec does not support 10d anymore.
