Tips/Suggestions?

Jeff.

What is the content of your backups?  Some things (ie thousands of tiny 
files) will cause a lot of seeks on the machine to be backed up.  If you 
aren't using attribute spooling then each backed up file also causes a 
record to be inserted in to the database, which may take time depending 
on your DB environment.

The 'suggestions' for tuning will be different if you are backing up a 
few dozen 10GB files versus backing up a million 10kb files.

Its mostly a windows os, with all its sundry smaller files and a few larger database dumps etc.

I guess what I have to accertain is the slow part getting the data FROM the servers or the slow part putting the data TO the storage.

I’m not sure which value the rate is in the job report, or if rate is somehow encompassing both.
