Okay folks.  I have a sort of shotgun question - it's big and all kinds
of places/ways to approach, but I need some pointers of where to start.

In late June, we physically relocated our NBU Master and Media servers.
Their fibre was reconnected to the SAN, and additionally, we activated a
policy to do BMR on four Linux servers.  Since that time, we've started
receiving backup speeds/throughput at about 19K/sec.  Last night, to
remove BMR from the equation, I deactivated the BMR policy and had the
clients backing up normally.  Still, 19K/sec.

So, does anyone have any suggestions of where to start looking?  Most of
my failures are 196s because the backups take so long.

Thanks,
Jason
