AFTER you verify that your network hardware settings are 100 FULL, or as
fast as the hardware permits, do a search on the web site where you
download your Linux distribution from. Search for "tuning" to see if
there are any adjustments you can make to the network parameters that
might improve network throughput. BUT check the network settings first
as that's the likely culprit for slow backups.
