I have a computer that is about three months old. It has Windows 7 64-bit.
For some reason, the throughput on backups is quite poor. It's about 1.5
MB/sec. It has a 1 Gbps network card. Network switches and BackupPC server
also run at 1 Gpbs.

Other PC's on my network get 4 or 5 MB/sec. Some of these PC's are four
years older and have 100 MBps network cards. Some even have IDE hard drives.

I am using smb on everything. I am naturally curious as to why this one
machine does so poorly.

This machine was purchased in a batch of four machines. The other three PC's
also run Win7-64 and have the same hardware. Their throughput is pretty
good.

The only change I can think of is that I did change the hard drive in this
slower PC from a 250 GB to a 500 GB drive.
