Storage node might be your best solution, also if you have to be on the
Network, then i have not seen any one mention Jumbo Frames, i tested this
and it really helped backup, we did not implement this because of the
concerns mixing Jumbo in production enviroment driver instability at that
time and concerns with Windows Blue screen, but since then the Drivers
have improved, Windows 2003 is here and GB Network is cheaper.
It may not help with VERY large file system but seems to help double the
throughput on everything else.
Thanks
