Just migrated about 300 Exchange 2007 mailboxes to Exchange 2010 database. Temporarily using Windows Server Backup for Server 2008 R2 to backup the databases to a remote storage. Initial full backup of the database is taking longer than 24 hours for a 235 GB database and what is now 334,000 log files...as a result of the migration. Seems like a long time.
I tested network connectivity to and from the SAN, and the Exchange server and there are no server or disk I/O issues. Server is running 16 cores and 48 GB RAM. Is this normal for it to take this long to run through the consistency checks and backups for this amount of data?
