    Hi,

    Actually I am taking my backup from cmd window with a script it’s a general script to take a backup, but I am taking the backup file to a local drive/disk, as I do in general to a SAN drive/disk through maintenance plan. Will this cause any time variation in taking a backup to a local than to a SAN drive?

    Yes. Backing up across the network will absolutely be slower than backing up to a local drive.
