NT Backup problem

    For some reason backing up my D: drive started taking over 8 hours.
    Can't see any problems in the backup log. It's around 110GB of data
    backing up to a LTO 2 backup tape. Is there any way of checking why it
    takes so long?

    Run the backup job in the foreground and watch what happens.

    Is D: compressed? Or have compressed (blue) files/folders in it?

    Is D: in perfect shape, is it starting to fail? I've had hard drives
    that couldn't keep up with a 1x CD-burn, 150KB/sec

    I'd suspect the drive or filesystem has problems...

    A chkdsk might help, and then again, if the drive is having problems,
    may make things worse.



    HTH.

    D: is not compressed, as to it's shape I'll have to check that. Thanks

    Run it on a Sunday afternoon. Working outside normal business hours is the
    cross that all server admins have to bear.

    Sometimes it may help to turn off antivirus protection while such lengthy
    operations take place. I recently had to turn it off while I was copying
    lare amount of data over the network..
