That is not normal. I have seen 30 minutes for 5 or so TB backup with a few million files but never days. Do you have your database on a server with at least 8GB of ram?

There are users that backup 30 TB containing millions of files in one job on this list. >Any recommendations on making it not suck? > Not without any system information.
