Can you supply some more details on your setup/configuration? - Is spooling implemented - Do you backup to tape or disk - have you implemented DTDTT - does the backup device has it's own HBA - what is the load of the ESX server - any errors/warnings etc in ESX logs? etcetera
Olaf PS In would not be too surprised if discussing this (also) on a Vmware forum/irc-channel would be more helpfull. PPS A dedicated backup VM with dedicated resources would probably be best if not mandatory. But that would probably also be the case for alternative Backup software.
