Backup taking TOO long after migration from SQL 2005 to SQL

Hello,

We just migrated our databases from SQL 2005 to 2008 R2. It's on Active Passive cluster with a shiny new hardware. It used to take 30 minutes to backup 500 GB database on old crappy hardware. Now it takes over 6 hours and takes too much resources too. Checked everything but looks like hardware is not an issue at all.

Any immediate suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Could you please send me the SQL Backup log for a backup that was made on the SQL 2005 instance, and another log for a backup that was made for the migrated database on the SQL 2008 R2 instance?

    The default folder where the logs are stored is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Log\<instance name> on Windows 2003 and older, and C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Log\<instance name> on Windows Vista and newer.

    Please send the files to peter.yeoh@red-gate.com.

    Thank you.

    Have you tried backing up the database using THREADCOUNT = 8, as you were previously doing on the SQL 2005 instance?
