Local backup - local C: drive and D: fiber channel SAN. Lots of small files. Should be minor fragmentation only. The SAN defrags itself. Both get about the same data rate. We do use an OFO which adds time to the backup, but it should be much faster.
Here's from last night's backup - 124 GB in 6 hours
