Well DAT is a slower technology than some others, but that does appear a bit on the slow side.
How is the DAT loader attached to the server?
What sort of data are you backing up? Files? If so, are there lots of small files?
What sort of backup rates are you seeing during the backup?
Is this server just backing up itself?
