What is your parallelism for these backups set to? Even at 330K/sec, you
should get around 4GB/hour of the backup. We get around 800K/sec doing
bricklevel backups (Exchange 2003, Windows 2003, NW Module 4.1), and
with a parallelization set to 8 we get a pretty decent throughput.

Just for example, I just ran a custom backup with high priority
mailboxes. The backup ran for 22 minutes and backed up 6 mailboxes with
a total of 4,437 MB. This was running during the day with simultaneous
access.
