Topic: Backup to Workstation bandwidth throttling

[Dave]

Can anyone advise whether the Backup to Workstation contrib is bandwidth throttled? I'm only seeing around 2MB/s of throughput on the LAN. This seems odd as the LAN is capable of a lot more and the SME server is no slouch having a very solid SCSI subsystem; dual 667MHz and a ServerWorks base.

During the backup run load average hovers around 0.8.

I'm not complaining (though I would like to speed up the backup job), and it wouldn't surprise me if the contrib was written to preserve LAN bandwidth. I'm just plain curious.
