Backup Exec 2012 Job Rate slow after restart / Windows updates
Hi Everyone
Last week on the 27th of August, we applied some Windows Updates to our backup server running Backup Exec 2012, and after the restart, the backup job rates have fallen from where it was...

It turns out a bad cable was causing the Backup Server's NIC to auto negotiate to 100MB instead of full Gigabit. I realized this after copying some files from our File Server over to it, and it was copying at about 11 MB per second.... 11 MB per second times 60? 660 MB per minute, which was the speed my backups ran at. A quick check at my connectivity confirmed I was at 100Mb connection. Forced it back to 1Gbit and problem solved.
Thanks everyone for your time.
