I have a database in SQLServer 2005. The database is about 30GB and every night I do a backup. I have being doing this for years and the backup always was taking 2 to 3 minutes to complete. In the last 3 days it takes 20 minutos and this is weird to me.
I checked the disk at everything is all right.

What can be wrong?

thanks

What did you do when you checked the disks? Please explain in detail as it's very likely you are having slow I/O.

Are you backing up to local disks, or across the network?
