You didn't tell us how the line speed is, could that be an issue?
You could also look at if the files are small, small filesizes = bad 
performance.

if your network connection is speedy and the files are small you could 
compress chunks of the data before backing up.

how does the backup perform from the local network? is it slow there too ?

Backing up remote locations on a slow line could be improved using 
spooling.

cheers
