What things effect the job rate?

[devilfix]

I was just wondering what types of things there are that would effect a job rate. I have some servers that run at 3000MB/min and others that run at 300MB/min. What kind of things should I look for?

Backup Exec 11d.
Using Symantec drivers.
All hotfixes installed.

Update NIC cards. Run some windows file copies of abou t1 gig of data from your media server and see what happens.

Example \\unc\c$ to remote server thats 300mb/min. Copy about 1 gig of data to the media server. Take note of the size of the data and watch your clock. Thre are online calculator that you can punch this in. If the remote server are Windows 2003 R2 and you have TOE nics you may want to disable TCP offload engine or TCP Chimney.
