Backup verifying takes really long

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Since about a month I noticed that our daily backups take really long, it is set to start at 1 am and it goes until 9 - 9:30 am, it is incremental backup with file exclusion (*.bak, *.~, *.tmp). Our "weekly backup" finishes within 2 hours, and that is full backup of our server.
From log I noticed that "verifying" operation takes around 7 hours (see screenshot).
Does anyone know what might be a cause of this issue? Any help appreciated.

Hello Marcin,

while creating a new incremental backup the program is verifying the whole archive. If the archive is big it can take a relative long time.

As a workaround you can start a new archive and keep the existing one for recovery purposes.

Thank you.
