I have a server running Backup Exec 9.1 and it is taking 25+ hours to verify 16gb of data, that it only took 2.5 hours to backup. I cannot seem to find a reason behind it. Any ideas gratefully received
 
When you do a restore, does it take ages to do as well?

Sometimes the issues with slow verifies are because of hardware issues.
 
Restores are no problem
 
I had an issue backing up mailboxes when I upgraded to 9.1. It took about 25 hours to back up a similar amount of data, but verified it in 2.5. The opposite of your situation!

The solution for me was to disable the Anti-virus service on the Exchange server while the backup was running and restart it afterwards. I don't know if this is relevant to your situation but it may be worth looking into.
