Precision T3500 Slow backups

Running Windows7 Professional. Raid 1 disks. 8GB RAM. Using Windows backup just to do the C: drive to an external hard drive takes almost 2 1/2 days. External drives backing up photo files take forever. Now for the stupid question. I do not know how to tell the transfer speed.

    How big is your C: drive?  Do you have any other partitions on the disk?  Are you running anything else during the backups (shares, VM's, etc.)?  What model of external drive are you using?

    There are two 320 GB drives. They are in a Raid 1 configuration. It is now 1:20 PM here and the backup has been running since 4:00 PM yesterday and is 35% complete. The external drive is a HP 2TB drive.
