I haven't done that much research....
I'm just grabbing at straws now to figure out why I can only pump data
into an exchange server @ 16MB/s max....not mailbox level, but just
storage groups.

Same transfer rate over FTP, so it's not exchange, but the box.
Exchange admin claims it was more than twice as fast with the prev
backup solution (Arcserve)

Wierdness ensues when trying to restore over an SG that is still
mounted.....restore runs at about 60MB/s, but no way to verify
integrity.

Same here....I'm actually part of the Network Infrastructure team, which
on the whole doesn't get along well with server admins, but luckily I
get along with both.

I had that kind of access at my former employer, but they weren't as
paranoid as here.
At that place, we had about 50+ people with root access to the entrprise
unix environment
