When backing up network shares using the files system share backups option from the NetVault server the backup takes a long time.
The backups tend to be multiple terabytes of data and multiple millions of small files.
Backing up of a share will always take longer but this is compounded by the indexing being done on the NetVault server rather than being done locally.
To improve performance install NetVault client on the file server presenting the share and backup the share through the client file system plugin.
If the share is presented by a NAS use the NDMP plugin to backup the NAS .
