To figure out what is going on, you need to run SQL Profiler and Performance Monitor.

"backingup databases on daily will give good performance?"
Of-couse not. It ensure that you have a backup copy in case anything went wrong. Your thread's title is "database maintenance", and Tara is addressing that point.

For tuning. . .
