This is one strange Windows 7 quirk! Lets say you use the Windows 7 Backup utility to perform a backup and save the files on to your hard disk. Now IF you use this Windows 7 Backup utility again to perform a backup for a group of files that are LARGER than the first group of backed up files, the back up may take a real long time … even upto 16 hours for 400 GB of files!
