Hi,
After migration from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2016, the maintenance plan backups started to take more time than it was before, but I did not bother so much at this time.
Now I realized that one our instance took 16 hour for the full backup of about 45 databases, which took only an hour or so before.
Even differential backup takes more than an hour, other instances backup completes in few seconds...
In the log, I see SQL Server trying to connect to offline databases for hours, even if the Ignore offline database option is checked.
What can I do to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot!
