1. How big is the data? 2. How about (OS) copying to disk and then to a portable hard-drive or burn to DVD?

There are some significant time delays in backuping up a UD system vs a plain Windows system. All servers run Windows 2003 Server Standard, updated several weeks ago. One server is an IIS web server using .NET while the other is a UniData server. There's not a lot of data so the time differences are pretty significant. Here's some info: ..now pausing the UniData dbms on Mon 06/25/2007 at 23:30:00.53 DBpause successful. ..now starting Windows NTBackup on Mon 06/25/2007 at 23:30:00.56 ..now resuming the UniData dbms on Mon 06/25/2007 at 23:52:02.06 DBresume successful. ..zipping (RAR) is now starting on Mon 06/25/2007 at 23:52:02.13 ..now ftp'ing files to storage server on Tue 06/26/2007 at 0:32:58.08 sftp> put *.rar -> remote /AsiAsp2/Asp2_20070625.rar OK Uploaded 160247944 bytes, 16 seconds, 9751593 bytes/second sftp> quit The non-UD server shows: ..now starting Windows NTBackup on Mon 06/25/2007 at 22:55:01.28 ..zipping (RAR) is now starting on Mon 06/25/2007 at 22:59:34.23 ..now sftp'ing backup to ASI web server on Mon 06/25/2007 at 23:37:07.40 sftp> put *.rar -> remote /netdrive/archive/Ht1_20070625.rar OK Uploaded 989484797 bytes, 118 seconds, 8360665 bytes/second sftp> quit As can be seen, the 160MB NTBackup is taking 22 minutes on the UD machine and only 4 minutes for the 990MB backup on the IIS/.NET machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with files in use. We really don't want UD shutdown for 22 minutes. When it starts growing we're going to have a real problem. Can anyone recommend a fast backup/compression product for a reasonable price?
