Have you previously followed this TN ?

Backup and Restore of Microsoft DFSR data using Symantec NetBackup​

You really haven't given us enough information to make any reasoned suggestions/recommendations.  Please could you show us the current backup policy selection, and a copy of the activity monitor detail for the 'slow' backup job.  Thank you.

Hello,

I suggest also be more descriptive as for the thread subject. Every thread here concerns with "NetBackup 7.6" or NetBackup 7.x.

Please read through the TN in sdo's post of 26 Feb: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000095710 

The TN contains suggestions on providing multiple paths in Backup Selection that should allow you to multiplex and multistream.

Please also confirm that NBU Client Service on DFS server is started with domain account with sufficient rights to DFSR folders.
