I guess you need to start off by working out where the bottleneck is so you know what to optimise. Possibilities include: - you're using compression or encryption and the client's CPU can't compress/encrypt any faster. You could turn either off, but if you don't compress, you have more data to ship and more to store, so this may be a false economy. If you need encryption, you need it. - the client disk access is slow (could be due to fragmentation, a busy disk or just a slow disk) - the storage medium is slow to write to (doing a local backup from the storage server to itself would rule this out quite quickly) - the network isn't as quick as you think (an iPerf test between client and server would confirm/disprove this) - these are incremental backups which generally tend to give a slower data rate There are probably other possibilities, but these are off the top of my head.
