One solution to feed your drives at full speed, is to build a low cost 
server containing an array of SATA drives, sufficient to hold all that 
you are backing up, and attach the library to it.

Rsync the data you are backing up to it, and do your backup from this 
array. I have been running a setup like this to backup 11TB of 
uncompessible data to a single drive LTO4 library and it takes around 27 
hours.

This also reduces the backup performance impct on your primary storage.

Richard
