This is normal. There's an overhead in opening each file and it adds up quickly. I have 1Tb filesystems (98% full) with 7000-10000 files in them which take about 12 hours to run a full backup I also have 1Tb filesystems (92% full) with 3-6 million files in them and they can take DAYS (GFS is very slow in opening files. This makes the overhead even more painfully obvious - it takes 28 hours just to do a zero-byte incremental backup of the worst filesystem) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
