We see 10/11Mbs transfer rate over 100mb to Gig-e.  Remember even if you have 
Gig-e your bottleneck will be your slowest link. (IE 100mb which max transfer 
rate is 10mbs)  You may also want to verify that none of your LAN links are set 
to auto negotiate as that will always screw things up.

Subject: TDP for Exchange - 5mb/s throughput?


We are running TDP-E on a Compaq 4way Xeon w/4gb mem.  We backup 40gb in
around 2.25 hrs, which comes out in the range of 5mb/s.  We have run the
backup across the fast ethernet and also the gig-e connection, with no
apparent difference.  The box does not show any cpu or memory hit during
the backup period.
Does anyone have experience with TDP MSExchgV2 (shows client version
4.2.2.0) that would suggest where the bottleneck might be?  We are
coming into an IBM H50 4-way w/2gb memory, TSM 4.2.1.9, going to an SSA
diskpool.
