If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

It's taking extremely long time to backup these files.
Also my mft became corrupt recently and i suspect this is because of the amount of files.
When browsing that directory it also takes to very long time, several minutes to get the file listing.

I'm not surprised with 400,000 files in a single folder! Why so many files in a single folder?

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!

Well it will take a long time to browse a directory with that many files in, use a command prompt.
What backup software have you used? And as davetoo asks why so many files in one folder??

Backing it up to tape, LTO2 Ultrium
Im using Veritas BackupExec 11d
Well the files are simply stored in one folder by a software. Would it be better if we placed 10000 files in one folder and then another 10000 files in another folder and so on?

Yes, if you have that option, I would break the files down into a logical structure...based upon date, or some criteria that makes sense as far as the data contained within the files is.
