Looking for anyone with helpful tips on running full, differential and transaction backups.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am currently running a full database backup nightly, a differential backup at noon daily and transaction backups every 30 minutes throughout the day.&nbsp;&nbsp;The full backup takes approx 5 hours, the differential takes up to 9 hours and the transaction log backup takes just a few minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;My problem is that the differential takes entirely too long to run and it collides with my transaction backups causing them to fail.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this?<br>Thanks in advance...
