Backing up 12million small files...

I have a server that has well over 12million small (1k ) files. That server is a DELL PE2850 (dual core) with 16GB of RAM. The backup runs over a dedicated 1GB net connection. There are other files and directories on this server that the backup with a job rate in excess of 900mb/min. This one particular directory that contains 200,00+ directires and over 12million files slows to less than 5mb/min. Is there some best practice that I am not aware of to try and improve the performace of this backup? I do backup serveral other servers with this backup server and get performance in excess of 4000mb/min.
