What's the wait type for the process while that backup is running?Edit: Is that extra quote in your statement a typo?
Should be
BACKUP DATABASE 'Databasename' TO DISK = 'E:\'filename.BAK'
not
BACKUP DATABASE 'Databasename' TO DISK = 'E:\'filename'.BAK'
I will run the job again tomorrow morning and see what the wait type for the process is and also I will check to see if there are any other processes that is blocking the job.
Thank you.
