We have a new backup job that using Backup to Disk to an EMC Data Domain 160.
When running the backup, the entire network slows down to basically a halt, yet the backup still runs as normal.
We have another similar backup at a different location, and it works perfectly fine without affecting the network there.
The devices are all connected to inter-connected switches, so it doesn't really make sense why this is a problem and I'm kind of stuck at this point.

Why not try a direct x-over connection to the DD160?
Or why not a VLAN for the backup network?
Have you isolated with wireshark whats affecting the traffic? Perhaps your switch is overloaded?
