Exchange backup runs slow


Solution




 
One possible reason the throughput rate can be less than what is desired is a large data store for Exchange Bad Email (Exchange uses this to store mail that it cannot deliver). Clearing out this data can help to speed up the backup. Make sure also that the anti-virus scans are not improperly configured.  For more information on this, review the following Microsoft Article:
