Yeah, if you are using older servers, that's definitely going to be a problem
a bottleneck on the server itself, moving to a 66mhz slot should help.
You should also do some file transfer OR iperf/netperf tests and see what
the raw throughput is without involving NetBackup.

Some other things to look at:

In: /usr/openv/netbackup

$ cat NET_BUFFER_SZ
1048576
$ cat NET_BUFFER_SZ_REST 
1048576

In: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config

$ cat NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS 
32
$ cat SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS 
262144

$ cat NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE
32
$ cat SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK
262144
