Optimum backup speed

[sean78]

I'm using Backup exec 8.6 on a Windows 2000 Server to backup multiple servers. Backup exec, backups data at a rate of 36.7MB/min, I was wondering if the speed it is running at is the fastest rate it can go, or if can go faster.

any answers to this would be much apperciated.
thank you

Sounds like you might want to disable the remote storage service.

I would say it depends mostly on you hardware.
We have a Exchange 5.5 server that we backup over a 100 Mbit/s switch and we get around 600 MB/min.
But we can't get BE to go higher then this, so I would expect that 600 MB/min is around max. for BE.
