I suggest to use native SQL Server backups.

If the databases are in "Full recovery mode" the a point-in-time backup is supported.

faster backup tools for SQL server

Additional: Also external backup tool utilize the SQL Server internal backup mechanisem via VDI interface; no external tool can be faster then the native backups.

See VDI at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/backup-restore/vdi-reference/reference-virtual-device-interface?view=sql-server-ver16
