Hmm well it's simple to eliminate:

Firware revision on SCSI card (also driver revision for SCSI / Win32) would
be the 1st thing to work through...and yes you may wonder why (if this is
the cause) this wouldn't be a problem with other hosts that are being backed
up?

Are you backing up Exchange remotely? Are your NIC and Switch Port hard set
to 100/Full? Did you install remote agent (if you're remotely backing up
Exchange box)?

Hi Ron

I am backing it up remotely. My NIC and Switch are both an 100/Full and
the agent is working perfectly. I am not really having these problems with
anything else but Exchange.

Thanks

I have updated both to the latest versions but that didn't seem to help.
My file system backups are 300mb+ but the databases are very slow.
