Backups

  • Maybe someone can help here. I have a backup that runs in 20 minutes or in 5 hours. The difference between 20 minutes and 5 hours occurs when I physically delete the file file for the backup device(on disk). If the file is deleted before the backup, then the backup takes twenty minutes. If I leave the file w/ the previous backup in the file and INIT, then it takes 5 hours. Here is the command I am using to backup the database..

    BACKUP DATABASE [i3_eic] TO [i3_eic_Full_01] WITH INIT ,

    NOUNLOAD ,

    NAME = N'gf_bu_i3_eic_Full',

    NOSKIP ,

    STATS = 10,

    NOFORMAT

    Any suggestions???

    Thanks..
