Is there a way to improve performance?

I have to schedule a nightly backup of the database, from a remote server. The internet bandwidth on the server is very good. But the total database size is 3.5 GB - the code is running for more than 2 hours to make the .sql file dump.
The same with mysqldump.exe takes less than 15 mins.
Is there any way to improve the performance? I am using the standard code taken from the wiki to backup the full database.,

I will definitely look into this

Hi @mubaid , I have decided to run a benchmark test, here is the test result that I have produced:
https://github.com/MySqlBackupNET/MySqlBackup.Net/wiki/Performance-Benchmark-(MySqlDump-vs-MySqlBackup)

About the environment that you're working on... are both MySqlDump.exe and MySqlBackup.NET runs on the same machine?

@adriancs2 Thanks for looking into this! Yes, I was running both mysqldump and mysqlbackup.net on the same machine. I haven't checked this in a while, I can spend some time and try to figure out if it's still the same?
