Can you check how many queries per second you get on the database while
backing up ?

Spooling makes no difference i take it ?
Does attribute spooling make a difference ? (Spool Attributes = yes)

If you didn`t check out attribute spooling yet it could still be a
problem with the database. If it is you should see higher transfer speed
during the backup. After the backup the attributes are commited to the
database and THIS takes quite a while.

At least that is what i can see on my system.

I can see it inserting with about 250 - 300 queries per second ... never
goes higher ... and for filesets with 10 million files that takes quite
a while to commit ...

Database, Attribute-Spool-Files, MySQL-Temp Files and Backup-Files are
all on different arrays ...
