Hello all, I have to backup a pair of exchange servers that (windows 2003) that each have about 200GB of data. It is taking over 9 hours to do a FULL backup of the servers. I was wondering what can be done to increase my throughput. I have found /Buffers= and /Buffersize= as performance options but nothing else. Are there ways to multithread these backups?
