Can I ask a question?
What sort of files are backed up? Large or a lot of small files?

We still don't have ours performing well yet, but make sure that the
disk staging fragment size is unlimited and do some testing with the
tape fragment size (we're currently using 20GB).
If you do find the magic turbo button, I'd sure appreciate hearing about
it. We sometimes get over 60 or 70MB/sec from some of our clients
(we've got a flashbackup client that writes directly to tape through a
media server that fast), but many of the destaging jobs go a lot slower
even from hardware that should be able to keep up (e.g. Sun V490).
