Network slows when BE 9.1 loads tape.

We are running a small single server network using BE 9.1 to backup server files only. As we have started to upgrade workstations to Windows XP Pro we are now experiencing the network becoming so slow when we load a new tape that it is unusable but only on the XP workstations. We do the actual backup in the middle of the night so I am not sure what happens then. This is just while loading a new tape during office hours. Any ideas?

    -- Are you backing up databases like Exchage or SQL?
    -- Verify if the the device which you are using is comaptible with BE v9.1
    -- Refer the following link

    -- If the device is compatible and tested thne install the latest Veritas device drivers:-

    -- Stop if any antivirus service or any third party application is running on the server during the backup.
