A full backup takes 3 hours. The test of that backup takes 8 hrs. Something is amiss. I read the forums and have done all the recommended fixes: all Fbackup .exe's and the network destination drive are excluded in the virus scanner (MS Security Essentials), the minimum set of source files to back-up are selected (no windows or system files), etc.
We're running Win 7 64 bit, FBackup 4.6.253, network backup to a Seagate Central Axis via wired network.
Any more suggestions?
Back up 3 hrs, test time 8 hrs?!?!?

There is one switch that the two computers and the backup server are connected to. Both computers have the destination called out the same way, e.g \\Mca-05abb7\jiloa\My Backup\Charmed2010\Weekly Backup\. Each has it's own file directory. The weekly full backup ran again yesterday with the same results. About three hours for the backup and about 8 for testing. The daily mirror backup takes about 30 minutes and testing takes about 30 minutes. Could there be something to do with the compression of the weekly?
