Hi Murugan,
That is really hard to found out exactly speed and how long time it will
take.
Take the speed you got ex. 100 MBit and divide it with 8 then do you got
maximum speed of your bandwidth. (12,5 MB/s)
If you run Windows you should probably split it with 2 then you maybe got
maximum speed from Windows. 
If you run compression then will you maybe get some better performance.

But again it's hard to really find out exact speed and time you will get.
Also the performance is also depending on if you backup to disk or tapepool,
activity on the WAN link, also how old your server is and et c. Got this
questions many times when I talk about CBMR for customers.

Make a test on 1GB data and then see how long time that will take.

Thanks
Christian
