You can try to break up the sets of data into multiple streams to get
the speed up. For example:
New Stream
M:\directory1\
M:\directory2\
New Stream
M:\directory3\
New Stream
M:\directory4\
 
and so on. Of course you'd need to do some research and make sure that
you divide up the streams into even chunks of data. You can also use
wildcards if your directory structure is large. Review the Manuals for
more info on using multiple streams and wildcards.
 
You also said that this is a Media Server. Have you presented tape
drives to this server and setup a storage unit? If so, is the policy
using this storage unit? The speeds you've stated lead me to believe
that the backup is occurring over the network instead of SCSI or FC.
Taking advantage of a storage unit on this media server will be your
biggest increase in speed if you aren't doing that already.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 Performance Very Slow


Recently I Installed Netbackup 6.0 MP3 in our environment with the
following architecture.  1 Master Server and 2  Media Server. I am
taking file server backup
of Mapped Drive of SAN with 730 GB of Data. This is the same server in
which Media Server is attached . I am having LTO 3 Robotic Library with
28 Slots (HP MSP 6000 Model). The Backup takes 30 Hours to finish entire
730GB at 7000 KB/ Sec (6MB/Sec)  of data and i tried all the performance
tuning mentioned in Netbackup guide.  Nothing worked. Anybody does the
tuning and any suggestion to reduce my backup windows
