I should add, I guess, that the disk STU is built on an NFS mounted, Netapp
R100 filer.  Not the fastest puppy in the world, I know, but I'd expect
better than this (avg aggregate throughput: 13.5 MB/sec).

Any suggestions for increasing the performace of backups to a disk storage
unit?

I've recently switched a backup from tape to disk and experienced a ~20%
increase in backup times.  Any disk-specific tunables you're aware of?
