Slow Verify on NTBackup

[Guest Jeremy Becker]

Here's the senario:

 

Three Windows 2003 Servers, one is Exchange 2003, the other two are Domain

Controllers / File Servers.

DC1 backup size 85GB, backup starts at 10PM

CD2 backup size 80GB, backup starts at 10PM

Exch backup size 90GB, backup starts at 6PM

All back up to a single E-SATA drive, 320GB, attached to a fourth server.

Network is 1GBit on DCs, 100Mb on Exch

 

Here's the issue...

Backup Ends Exch Server at 11PM, verify ends at...well, its 1PM and still

running.

DC1 Backup ends about 5-6AM, verify also still running

DC2 Backup ends about 6AM, verify also still running

 

I never had this issue until recently...verify and all that has usually been

done by 8AM on all the systems. I'd say in the last month maybe it has been

getting worse and worse. Any ideas?
