NTBACKUP Slow

Hi guys,

I’ve just setup NTBACKUP, it all runs well but the problem I’m facing is that, it is taking up to 12 hours to backup a five user site. I had a look at the logs and it says that it is taking longest on the Exchange databases.

There is no way that the exchange databases are 340GB! The whole exchange folder including the databases are just over 6GB. See below.
