The backup for my MOSS farm have gone from 40 minutes to 7 hours, since the daylight savings time change. There appears to be a pause for 1 or 2 hours at certain points during the backup. Note times below.
I have seen discussions about this on google groups, but no real solution. Just work arounds like uninstalling the DST patch 931836 and changing the MOSS servers timezone to a location that has the same time as DST. I'm hoping for a real fix.
