You can run bpbkar32.exe D:\ -nocont 1> nul 2>nul   and you will run a
backup of D:\ dumping the data to nul. This is a good test to check the
throughput of you disk or HBA. Obviously doesn't help test tape drive
speeds etc. Haven't tried this on UNIX, but I would think it should work
there also.

Is there a method to test the maximum throughput for backups and
restores

That can be obtained without actually running a backup?

4.5 FP6, 2003 Master/media server

Unix, 2003, 2000 and XP clients.
