The perennial "What the heck is my client doing?" question...
In  http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts
see entries "Backup taking too long" and "Backup performance".
Sometimes we're surprised to see the number of small files that someone
has added to the file system; sometimes there's a balky tape involved
in the backup.
