Hi,

Per your second e-mail:

Before looking at NetBackup, use iperf and run that first.

If iperf does not perform because of a switch issue or other bandwidth limitation, you aren't going to get anywhere :)

Hi,

Show your network topology?
Also have read the 10Gbps tuning documents on the net?
Essentially you want to use jumbo frames if you want over 3gbps is what I read in one document.

I have some Unix systems that performed very well when backing up to a 1Gbit connected DSSU Media Server. However when that Media Server NIC was upgraded to 10Gbit the performance dropped dramatically (85 MB/sec > 40 KB/sec). When I point these Unix systems back to another 1Gb Media Server then they are fast again.

Windows clients do not seem to have issues.

Is there any tuning / tweaking that needs to be done for Unix systems to perform well to backup to a 10Gbit (Windows) Media Server ?
