I'm curious to hear what kind of speeds (mbs/sec) others are getting 
backing up windows servers.

Running Netbackup Enterprise 5.1 mp6 under Solaris10 on master/media 
servers.

        a.      Using brocade 2g ports 48000 director.
        b.      IBM Ultrium LTO Gen2 drives
        c.      Sun branded Qlogic 2gb cards. single port feeding each 
tape drive.
        d.      The storage on the windows servers is FC attached Hitachi 
Tagmastore 9990.  (Very fast drive configuration.)
        e.      Servers are HP G5's also 64 bit. Some are 32 bit. Seems 32 
bit servers are actually faster.

note:   Some of my other backups such as Solaris, Linix and Netware can 
get as much as 20 mb/sec with this configuration.
        So why are the windows servers so slow? Any  one have some kind of 
idea what may be a cause?  Or it is what it is!  Windows!
