We back up a large number of servers across wan links. With no other
activity we can expect approx 1 gig per hr through the T1 link. The only
problem is the initial Full backup. The file compression actually helps a
considerable amount across the wan link. i have shortened some of my
backups by 4 hrs using the client compression.
