Painfully slow backup

Hi!

I hope you can help me out here, I've got Dell PV 132T running on Netware
6.5 SP5 and Backup Exec 9.1.1158.9.

I've got a server as well running on the same OS that I'm trying to
backup. but it's really slow! I'm counting about 4-500mb per minute. It
usually takes 18 hours to backup my fileserver that is about 2tb. But now
it will take days! Do you have any suggestions where the error is? Is it
maybe driver related?

Try using TSATEST to give you an idea of what speed to expect from the
OS/network:

You could also try a backup-to-disk which takes the library out of the
picture.
