  • Some ideas off the top of my head :-

    Track I/O using perfmon.

    Track wait stats from SQL perspective.

    Run SQLIO to get indications of baseline I/O SQLIO Tutorial here[/url]

    From the lack of info its not clear if you have actually done any work on this yet, but you may have already carried out some of this, its a good idea to include what steps you've already taken (if any).

  • Most especially get the wait statistics while the backup is running in order to understand exactly what is causing things to slow down. sys.dm_os_waits_stats will show you a cumulative view. Query it before and after the backup runs. You can also set up an extended events session and capture sql_os.wait_info in real time. Be sure to filter that for the session or query that's running the backup. Also in real time you can look to sys.dm_exec_requests, but you'll have to poll that. Better to use extended events.
