Speeding up backup to network locations.

If you are having trouble with slow backups over the network, try splitting your archives into chunks of no more than 20GB. Windows has a problem across all platforms where large file transfers across the network will slow to a crawl rather quickly.. my backups will start at 250+Mb/s and start slowing down after 20GB until the speed ends up at around 35Mb/s. This is over a gigabit connection.. you may have to split your archive into smaller chunks over a 100Mb/s connection. Use the task manager to watch network traffic to see the optimum size for your application
