Inconsistent Job Rate performance Backups

Matthew_Marsh
Level 2
I am having an issue of inconsistant Job rate performance. That is to say sometimes my backup jobs run at 597MB/s and are finished within 6 hours. Othertimes the job runs at 100mb/min and lates 45-50 Hours to run. There are no major errors its just the performance sucks. Rebooting, stopping-starting services, updating drivers has had no affect.

I am using
Adaptec 39160 Ultra-160 SCSI card
Powervault 132T LTO
Backup Exec 9.1
