In your situation I'd be happy if I saw backups going 25 GB/hr or faster.
But that assumes that your network is the bottleneck - in this day and
age, that's a safe assumption to make about a 100Mbit backup network. I
would be remiss if I didn't also bring up the possibility that your tape
drives or your client disk access represents a slower bottleneck.
Some "rules of thumb" conversion factors that you might find handy:
-it's pretty rare to see a 100Mbit network that goes much faster
than 75Mbit
-1MB/sec = 8Mbit
-1GB/hr = 3.6MB/sec
so your 100Mbit network = ~75 Mbit "real world max" = ~9 MB/sec =
~28 GB/hr
