I would try backing up bootstrap on a flat file type device to see if 
performance is device related.  If not, try media DB scavenging,  I've had a 
similar issue where EMC Support recommended Media DB scavenge which resolved 
the issue.

Hi Paul:

NetWorker version is 7.4.3, I was using 7.3.4 with the same problem, I
upgraded just to check if the problem could go away.
We are using LTO4 FC and also Data Domain DD565 emulating tape drives. 
My bootstrap size is 689 MB
We had the same problem with the previous configuration SDLT320 SCSI

Thanks in advance

It would help if you could also supply what version of networker you are
running and what storage/media/type of tape drive or AFTD is receiving
the bootstrap backup... Also how large is your bootstrap ?? 
I think it's normal for NetWorker to suspend other activities during a
bootstrap backup... You would not want anything to interfere with a
bootstrap that could cause it to fail and make it un-usable for recovery
purposes...
