But should the differences be that large?  I have another client that will ftp 
to the Veritas server at 15,000KB/s but the Veritas backup is 1000KB/s.  

Thanks,

You shouldn't expect that.  Different methods of file access and transfer have 
different overheads.  For example, download a large FTP file from an 
off-network location using Internet Explorer and then download the same file 
using a standard FTP client like WS_FTP.  You'll usually see a marked 
difference.  Another comparison is to copy a very large file between Windows 
machines using copy/paste from the GUI and then copy the same file using a 
utility like robocopy.  Windows file handling is notoriously inefficient and 
slow.

If I can transfer a file using FTP from my Veritas server to a client at 5000 
KB/s should I get better than the 1200KB/s throughput I get from NetBackup for 
my backups from that client?
