Backup suddenly takes hours instead of 30 Minutes

Post by VAFW »

Hi. My backup since yesterday takes a very long time. Normally the backup is 30 Minutes in duration. I added a image to show the problem. Can someone explain this? The backup is still running so the time in the image is not the final time.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the community Marco.

Any recent changes with the files/folders on the source disk? What backup target are you using? Thanks!

I am using an old external drive as a target and had until now no problems with it. On my source drive which is the Windows 10 system partition or "main drive" always something is changed. But this was no problem yet.

Hi Marco,

Any chance this behavior persists or all subsequent job runs were normal in terms of processing time? Thanks!

I've found the problem. The good thing is Veeam Backup is working again with a new local storage target. The bad thing is the old HDD has a failure. Thanks anyway for the help.
