we are using BE 15, installed on physics windows 2012R2 server, we have a volume on NAS linked via iscsi to a VM on vmware host, agent was installed on VM server, we are backup files to HP MSL2024 Library with LTO4 tape, the library connect to the backup media server via 4Gb Fiber, but when backup files on that volume, the performance was very low, only about 30~40MB/min, what's the problem, which we need change?

Are you using a virtual agent to backup (so creating the backup job using either the Vcenter server object or the ESXi host server object) - if you are and if SAN transport is working the job log will state that SAN transport is being used if it names NBD transport you are doing a virtual machien backup over the LAN.
OR
Are you backing up using the traditonal agent for windows process (so creating the backup job using the object that represents the virtual machine itself) - this method will be slower (and the job log will not contain any details about SAN or NBD transport OR if fact even name the Virtual Center or ESXi host)
