Any one have any creative ideas of how I can get faster backups from a windows server.

We are running Lotus Notes on a Windows Intel box. The server is a Compaq G5.
We are backing up 400 - 500 GB every night of mail files. The daily & weekly backups are doing
disk backup - data de-duplication. The backup through put is 6 mb/sec to 6.5/mb/sec.  
The monthly backups are going to LTO2 tape. Getting may be 7 mb/sec to tape.

Either way backups are taking to long. ( 16 -18 hours ).
Any one have any creative ways I can get backups in a shorter window? Looking for some
ideas to get the window down by 50% - 75%.

thanks
