    Yes. That's the vCenter management port issue. The port is in 100 MB port.

    When I change it to GB port, the backup speed increase to 2XXX MB/min.

There is not enough port to do NIC teaming.

Besides, when I copy a file (about 2GB) from a VM to the backup Exec, the transfer rate is 5040 MB/min.

that's 10 times Backup exec job rate!

Is there any control on Backup Exec on the Job rate or network transfer?
