Heitor,

Thank you for the reply.

The backup source is a studio network solutions Evo NAS appliance.
Unfortunately, I have no access to run bacula FD, nor most of other things
suggested on this appliance as access is only via appliance developer
designer means. I do not have any shell access to this appliance. Off the
top of my head, I believe my only access options to this Evo NAS are smb (I
believe 3.x), read only iSCSI, or afs (apple file sharing - obviously not
something I want to try). This Evo NAS appliance is running Gentoo Linux.

I am able to transfer data using the Linux cp command at link speeds. I am
open to trying anything to see if I can improve these backup times since we
have a lot of data to backup (total dataset about 194 TiB).
