Backup server networking
It is important to consider the whole network when considering backup performance, any server acting as a
backup server should be configured where possible with multiple network ports that are teamed / bonded in
order to provide a fast connection to the LAN. Client servers (those that back up via a backup server) may be
connected with only a single port, if backups are to be aggregated through the backup server.
Ensure that no sub-1Gbit network components are in the backup path because this will significantly restrict
backup performance.
