Greetings all,

We're observing some significant performance issues with some of our Windows 2008 SP2 clients.  Backing up to a DD880 VTL, one client in particular is running at just over 300KB/sec.  Others are running 2-3MB/sec.  The clients in question are all virtual machines running on VMWare ESX 3.5.0 238493.  Our Windows 2008 clients running on bare metal are performing well.  Our NetBackup environment is version 6.5.3 on the master/media server and the client.

We've tried tuning the net buffer size, but that made no difference.  Are there other things we can try?

We have a case open with Symantec, but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has run into this issue.
