I wouldn't think the 15K/1K difference would be that large, but David is 
pointing you in the right direction with tuning.  I guess I really didn't 
completely answer your question by not mentioning tuning.  There are
**lots** of things that affect backup speeds.  Whatever you do, you generally 
can't compare one application type to another.  Comparing FTP and NBU is apples 
and oranges.  Comparing similar applications like ArcServe and NBU is valid, 
though.

go to support.veritas.com and search for tuning guide.  After you have done 
some "tweaking" test your results.

But should the differences be that large?  I have another client that will ftp 
to the Veritas server at 15,000KB/s but the Veritas backup is 1000KB/s.

You shouldn't expect that.  Different methods of file access and transfer have 
different overheads.  For example, download a large FTP file from an 
off-network location using Internet Explorer and then download the same file 
using a standard FTP client like WS_FTP.  You'll usually see a marked 
difference.  Another comparison is to copy a very large file between Windows 
machines using copy/paste from the GUI and then copy the same file using a 
utility like robocopy.  Windows file handling is notoriously inefficient and 
slow.

If I can transfer a file using FTP from my Veritas server to a client at 5000 
KB/s should I get better than the 1200KB/s throughput I get from NetBackup for 
my backups from that client?
