Um, you neglect to say how much gets backed up nightly, how long is you
backup window, is all backups going to diskpool, or how many nodes there
are.

Can you saturate that network connection without guilt?. (It helps if
it's full duplex)
150Mbit sounds like an OC-3 connection (155Mbit). I find that it quite
easily handles saturation for long periods of time.

Theorectically you can backup 55Gbytes an hour, depending how well your
server/network/settings are tuned.
