        I'm working here on improving the backup rates on many of our
servers and I'd like to ask everyone what has worked best for them?
We've got a gigabit back end running to most of our critical" servers
and dedicated Master and Media Servers running our SDLTs and ATL.  At
this point, we think we need to focus on software settings and network
performance.  I've increased the buffer the client uses for data writes
to 128KB which has shown marginal improvement, what other settings has
everyone else found success with?
