Can I have just one file produced?
My backup is of 4 sections (c:\ d:\ Utility and Shadow Copy) and it produces 4 files. I am guessing; one for each. When trying to then duplicate this backup (that went to NAS) to a tape, apart from ...

Are all the selections in one job? or do you have 4 jobs that are chained together?
if it is one job, they should all go to one backupset in one file, and the size of the file is limited by the MaxFileSize specified for the B2D folder.
if it is chained jobs, make sure that the second and subsequent jobs are all append and soecify the same media set as the first job and that for the B2D folder, "number of backupsets per file" is four or greater.
As for the speed -
Make sure that all NICs/Switch ports on the path from your medai server to the NAS are NOT set to auto-negotiate, but are hard set to the fastest setting appropirate to your network
Make sure that the volume that the B2D folder is on is not Fragmented (this can REALLY slow down throughput)
