On my production BE 10.1d Media Server, I'm getting numbers similar to the above.
On my test/development BE 11d Media Server, I'm getting 1.5gb/min on the high side and 600mb/min on the low side. So there is major improvement. I also like how the interface tells you the job rate in the monitor. Much better than having to right click and select properties :)
This is a D2D backup (using a simple Multilane SATA-II array; 7200 RPM drives); we don't use tape.
Average backup amount for the above benchmarks is 150-200gb
Like everyone has stated, it depends on the server and what is being backed up. :)
