Are you by any chance using "memoryefficientbackup yes"? If so, that may
slow you down quite substantially. Would be nice to see output from "dsmc
query systeminfo" command (make sure to use the same node name as your
scheduled events).

Yesterday you said you were going to use cron to get QUERY SESSION data
every few minutes... a good idea. What did that show? Also, check what
other server processes may be running at the time the backups are running.
Is your server overloaded?

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
