I need a solution
We have a windows server 2008R2 box running SQL server hosted on a VMware box. The server has 2 nics, one going to our main network the other is for iSCSI to the SAN which holds ONE of our databases. We backup 5 other VMware servers ranging between 2003 and 2008, one being another SQL box. Normal throughput on the servers is about gigabit speed. For this particualr server we see 100MB. As a test I tried to backup a database located on the local VMware guest, same speed, then tried to backup just some OS files, all tests show the same speed. Both NICs are operating at GB speed. Suggestions? We are up to date on patches on the server and backup exec. Backup exec is running on a physical server with an attached tape device.
