Extreemly Slow Backups

[Jeff_Maissan]

We are using Backup Exec for Windows 9.1 with a Certance LTO 2 tape drive on Windows 200 Server.
Our backups were running in 3 1/2 hour, and now the are taking 17 hours to run. There have been no changes to Backupexec, windows, and no real change in the amount of data. I have re-ipled the server and no change?
Any Ideas on what I can try or where the problem bay be?

Thanks,

I noticed that the problem started after an re-boot. I am nt sure why (or how) they would have changed on their own, but I will check the SCSI parameter settings for he tape controller.

Hello,

We also suggest you to take the backup on the backup to disk folder.

Also execute the same backup job using the ntbackup utility to isolate the cause of the issue.
