Hello Sandy, 

You haven't mentioned How many channels have you allocated for backup ? How 
many free tapes are available in tape pool ? Are you using rman compression ? 
How big is sga ? What are the wait events seen if any in the db ?

In general, Execution time of 'backup validate database' command should help 
you to find the right problem area.

Considering that there is enough network bandwidth available b/w host nd tapes 
and cpu & i/o is not the bottleneck on the host, It is likely that tape media 
pool doesnt have enough tapes leading to channel queueing. Check Activity 
monitor tab on Netbackup Server console for this.
