Extremely slow backup
I have a server 2008 R2 running Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5, it has a 4 backups that run at varying times throughout the evening / night. I currently run a files differential backup to USB that starts at 18:10 however this doesn't actually starting running properly until 2 am. It's backing up about 300GB data, flat files no exchange or anything like that, logs are below.

It then locks the D Partition (my data drive) and proceeds to run the backup from 2 - 6 am. This timing seems acceptable to actually run the backup, however I cannot understand why it takes so long to get to here.
