This article explains how you can make Windows NT Backup run faster when
you back up data from universal naming convention (UNC) shares. You will
notice the biggest performance gains when backing up many small files. In
some tests, backup jobs that previously took three hours to complete
finished in one hour.
STATUS

now \Device\LanmanRedirector by default.
