Backup time increasingly slower

Thread needs solution

With the activity report I can see that the full backup which is performed not  on a scheduled basis and which keeps only two backups is taking longer.

551.6 GB    246.2Mbps    5 hrs 9 min.       10/13/20

551              306               4 hrs 6 min.         9/22/20

551              364               3 hrs 27 min.       9/15/20

551              413               3 hrs 2 min.         8/15/20

Can someone help me out with understanding why this is happening?

Lynnea, difficult to say what might be causing the time to increase based on only the information shown.

Assuming that you are making a Disk backup as a full image only and with the options set to store only 2 such full backup images, then the first & second backups listed require no further actions beyond creating the files.  Further assuming that validation is not enabled for this backup task.

Any subsequent backups then need further actions for cleanup, i.e. to wait for a successful backup then remove the oldest backup file and update the internal database and metadata information.

Actual processing times will depend on other factors beyond Acronis, i.e. what other activities are happening on the system at that time, any competing operations for the backup destination drive, system updates being processed etc?
