    I copied a 2.2GB backup file from the DB server to the NetBackup server in 10minutes. i.e. roughly 4MB/sec.

     

    So, the network seems to be the problem.
    In this case, this client will benefit from making it a SAN Media Server to backup directly to tape.

    You will need tape drives to be zoned to the client and NBU Server software installed.
    (Take note that tape drives should be zoned to a different HBA, not the same HBA used for disk access.)

    NBU licenses needed:
    Enterprise Client
    Shared Storage Option
    Library Based Tape Drives

    As Riaan pointed out earlier, you cannot use SAN Client to backup to MSDP on the Windows server.
    FT Media server can only be configured on Linux and Solaris Sparc media servers.

I have alrady installed the linux client in the solaris server to get backup<<< How can you install a LINUX client on a Solaris server. I have no idea what you mean. But yes, for FT, you need NetBackup server software installed, you need the server license, and as I said, you need to make sure your HBA is supported for FT. Not all HBA's are supported for FT.
