| Welcome to SQL Team Antillean!Is there enough disk space?How big is the Log file - IME when this becomes massive the "effort" to make the backup becomes bigger too.(If you are NOT specifically doing Transaction log backups AND the database is NOT set to Recover Model = SIMPLE then I reckon my second idea is a liekly candidate for your problem)Kristen |
