Exchange is not a file level backup. It is more like a database unload. The Microsoft Exchange Backup API is only designed for 30GB/hr. Funny, that figures out to 8.33MB/sec. However, on much faster servers with FC disk I have seen a little faster than this.

I noticed that when I backup the exchange database using TDP or BA client I only get approximately 8mb/sec aggregate. So I created a file of the same size, 1.4gb, and I got 25mb/sec aggregate. Has anyone encountered a performance difference such this when backing up Exchange files?
