If you are backing up your data over a network and you are not running gigabit you will not get much more than 8mb/s. If you are doing an incremental backup with files scattered all over the drive you will also not get high backup rates. If you are backing up from a single client (concurrency turned off) and you have spooling turned on your backup will sometimes take 2 times as long. Also you may have a problem with your database indexes. If you have software compression on your performance will suffer.
