Hello All
I am having a strange problem with my SQL2005 server backup (9.0.5067).
We have a maintenance routine that backs up our production databases to a backup device (a file on the C: drive).
“BACKUP DATABASE LIVEDB TO livedbd WITH INIT, NOSKIP”
This is done on several DBs but the main one take about 8 Mins (36.3GB).
Now the problem started just before Christmas when it started taking 35 Mins.
Some days it 8 Mins & some days it 35 Mins. The ratio of 8 to 35 Mins is swinging towards the 35 Mins more than 8.
Anyone got an idea where I can look to resolve this problem.
