First thing I would check on is the DB cache hit %.
That can slow things down, and I find a lot of people still running with the 
defaults.

I have a client with requirements for full monthly backups being retained for 
7-years. 2-years ago we set them up with monthly
schedules in a domain with the copygroups set to MODE=ABSOLUTE. Now these 
backups are running forever and I think it has to do with
so many versions of the files and an INCREMENTAL schedule. The admin of ths 
shop has said that the monthly backups take longer each
month.

My question...would setting -INCRBYDATE help with this? These backups MUST be a 
FULL. No choice on that.
