I opened a support case, but during the time it took to get to a solution, I figured out that actually the external hard drive I was using was causing the performance degradation. By chance, the defect occured at the very same day I upgraded Veeam, which led me to believe it was Veeam.
+21Unsure why as my laptop backs up just as fast or faster on v6. I would take a look at the logs to see if anything is evident and also ensure Antivirus exclusions are in place. Also ensure throttling is not on in the settings.

Didn’t see any obvious things in the logs. Antivirus exceptions are in place. If that would be the problem, I would have had it with v5 as well. Throttling is disabled.

Unsure what else to suggest as I don't see that in V6. Maybe a support case or check the forums https://forums.veeam.com

+6I recommend opening a case with technical support. I know several customers using version 6 without reporting performance issues. I just checked the HW system requirements, and are the same. As it is a free edition, Veeam will provide best-effort support by email only.

Thanks for updating us on the issue. Sort of figured it was the drive but nice you confirmed it.
