Hello,
While I think your backup plan is well thought out plan, you might want to spend some time and determine what is causing the bottleneck when backing up the remote servers. This may cause some other issues down the road.
Have you tried shutting the CPS services down, as a test, to see if your throughput increases any when backing up to tape? How frequently are you running your BESR backups? Have your tried taking them out of the picture?
I would suspect that if you have a BESR backup job, a CPS backup job, and a Backup Exec job all running at the same time that you would see some degradation from not only an OS level, but from a network level as well.
Also, are all of your network drivers up to date on all of your remote servers? If not, make sure they’re up to date with the latest version.
If you have support with us, call in and open a case with us. There are networking tools that we can use to test the network connectivity between your servers, to see if there are any issues.
Let us know if that helps you out any.

It definitely sounds like there is something universal with your two servers which causes the degradation.
Now that you have a case with us we’ll help you try to pin point the slow down. Like I said, we have a network tool that we can use that is pretty accurate at identifying network issues.
