Running BE 2010 R3
Suddenly overnight our backups increased by 5 hours. nothing was changed on any of the servers, no updates, nothing. I've narrowed it down to one server but getting nowhere fast, done all sorts of tests, firmware upgrade to DLT, patch upgrades to BE2010, network copies and can only say that small amounts of files equating to large data is fine, but the user data is thousands of files/folders and it's slow. I've read a threads about the same issue.
It's like the file/folder count has peaked and impacted on throughput.
Fire away with any ideas and I'll tell you if I've tried it but nothing makes sense atm
Thanks
