9 times out of 10 its not networker, but the server. Check processes, 
memory, harddrive ect. Isolate the backup by putting it in a separate 
group so you can look at the start time. What about network traffic at 
this time? I know we have a small job that takes forever. I got to looking 
into it and it had hundreds of thousands of directories. 

Just a few things to look into.

[Networker] It takes 20hours to backup 500GB- too much time
Sent by:
EMC NetWorker discussion <NETWORKER AT LISTSERV.TEMPLE DOT EDU>



Hi guys,

We are using Networker 7.4.4.
We have a server with D partition 500GB of data, when we backup this 
server it takes long time to do the full backup like 20 hourse to back up 
the 500GB.
We used to have old server running networker 7.2 that backup the same 
server with the same data with about 4 hours.

Note: this server has networker (server verstion ) installed and removed.
Would you please help me to fix this problem
