Hi there,
Check the TNs below which relate to performance in B2D and tape:

In addition, read pkh's article below. He wrote it based on an LTO4 drive, but the same goes for any other version of LTO:

Speed would also be based on what you are backing up. Large files stream faster than smaller files for instance.
Thanks!

How the tape devices are connected and model of tape drives? (FC/SAS/SCSI/USB)
How much throughput you are seeing if you use B2D folder created on local server as target (Just for test)?
If the server is able to process data at that speed only, then you would need to think about upgrading server hardware. As you are using older versions of BE you would not be able to use latest tape hardware. Upgrade BE to atleast 2010 R3 so that you can use latest tape drives and can get better backup speeds, if server resources and connectivity is not an issue.

Hi All,
Thanks for yor replies.
We are going to use LTO4 device with Dell PE 2950 server. Now it will increase the backup performance like speed.
Thanks,
