No, actually they are split up into many directories with no more than 200 hundred. &nbsp;The are scanned documents that are separated by date.

We are using Backup Exec 12.5, backing up to disk on a data valut. &nbsp;Most backup jobs move very quickly (1800 MB/min). &nbsp;However, we store over a terbyte of image files (mostly Tiff) that are all less than 200 KB.<br />
<br />
When Backup Exec hits these folders it slows down to a crawl. &nbsp;Is there a way to speed up backing up of all of these small files? &nbsp;Looking for any suggestions.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Need to speed up Backup Exec when backing up small image files

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
