I deleted 12K+ of the log files and now it runs much faster. Is there ever going to be an option to delete older log files like the erase files option? / comments

In my case I am seeing approx a 2 minute difference between the log reported time and the actual amount of time. My currently group of regular transaction log backups is taking 20-25 minutes using SQLBackup while native it is in the 2-5 minute range. What is the next step for correcting this? / comments

The log states the backup takes 3 seconds, while actually timing the backup it takes 2-3 minutes. I am willing to try backing up localy, but that is not a fix for this issue. / comments

So what is the next step for solving this? Native backups to network shares don't have this issue. In fact native transaction log backups currently complete 2x-3x faster than compressed ones. FYI - Server is a quad 1.4Ghz with an average CPU utilization while backups are occuring of 15-30%. / comments

I have upgraded to v5.2.0 and still see about a two minute pause between finishing backup file and writting the log file. For instance Contents of the log file 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: SQL Backup 3.2.0, (c) Red Gate Software Ltd 2004 - 2005 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: Backing up Admin (transaction log) to \\hbhscorp4\sqlbak\sqlcmsbk\Admin_TLog_20050606_172007.TRN ... 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: BACKUP LOG [Admin] TO DISK = '\\hbhscorp4\sqlbak\sqlcmsbk\Admin_TLog_20050606_172007.TRN' WITH NAME = '', DESCRIPTION = '', ERASEFILES = 3, LOGTO = '\\hbhscorp4\sqlbak\sqlcmsbk\Admin_TLog_20050606_172007.Log', COMPRESSION = 1 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: 6/6/2005 5:20:43 PM: 6/6/2005 5:20:44 PM: Backup data size : 896.000 KB 6/6/2005 5:20:44 PM: Compressed data size: 11.500 KB 6/6/2005 5:20:44 PM: Compression rate : 98.72% 6/6/2005 5:20:50 PM: Process completed successfully. 6/6/2005 5:20:50 PM: Processed 1 pages for database 'Admin', file 'Admin_Log' on file 1. BACKUP LOG successfully processed 1 pages in 0.082 seconds (0.099 MB/sec). (1 row affected) which shows a time stamp of 5:23pm and the backup file shows a time of 5:19.
