What I had:
Physical Dell PE 1850 server with Windows Server 2003 and BE 10d w/ Dell TL2000 backing up two remote servers on the same LAN connected to private GB backup network. Was getting 2900-3000 MB/Min on Full backups.
Setup a new VMware server 2008 R2 w/ BE 2010 version 13 Reb. 2896 (64-bit) (VM Host is a Dell PE R710, w/ VT enabled for DirectPath), and upgraded the RAWS on both remote servers. On one server I get 1186 MB/min & on the other I get 3435 MB/Min. This was right after I started running fulls on the new 2010 BE server. I've checked the RAWS agent on both servers and they are exactly the same configuration. I swapped cables and switch ports to the GB backup network and verified in the backup properties that both jobs are to run on the GB backup network. And I verfied this by watching the network packets while it was backing up, and in the logs it shows the GB backup IP addresses.
But to my surprise I can't get the other server to run faster than 1200 MB/Min. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
