1) Make sure you have selected the DFS data through Shadow copy components.

2) Also check the fragmentation of the disk where the data resides.

3) check the event viewer for any faulting module error.

if someone runs into same problem, just want to let you know that in our case it was DFS replication which is culprit. deselect the folder called dfsprivate from selection list, it should work fine. thanks
