Hi Everyone, I just wanted to reply with a thank you to everyone who posted ideas. It was definitely a database problem, and I think it was the attribute spooling which ended up fixing it. I added Heitor's DB tuning instructions; used mysqlcheck -m/-o on my DB; and then added "Spool Attributes = yes" to the default job definition and backups went from 120-130 hours down to 10. Quite an improvement. :)
