anybody have any tips on what type of "Network transfer rate" we should be
seeing for our backups over gigabit ethernet? the clients backup via copper
Gb ethernet dedicated for backups to a tsm server connected to a 3494 tape
library with 10 3590 tape drives via fibre channel/brocade switch.

there is only one client on one gigabit interface and 3 on another.

any tips for improving network performance?

thanks
