OK, so you don't have a network problem. My guess would be you have a
throughput problem on either the storage daemon or the catalog database.
What is the backup medium? Have you done any performance analysis on
the server during a backup (iostat, for example)?
Are you running jobs concurrently? That can make up for slow clients.
Of course, if you're only backing up a single client, that's not going
to help you.
