Network data transfer rate is the rate when the client is actually sending the data. Usually very close to the wire speed. Aggregate is amount of data transferred divided by the backup's elapsed time. Not just the time the client is actually moving data on the wire. If you don't see the network rate very high (in the xx,xxx range) it can indicate a network problem.

Why it is always a lot slower than the network data transfer rate? For example: ANE4961I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Total number of bytes transferred: 13.61 GB (SESSION: 18137) 03/18/09 15:37:37 ANE4963I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Data transfer time: 914.17 sec (SESSION: 18137) 03/18/09 15:37:37 ANE4966I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Network data transfer rate: 15,618.11 KB/sec (SESSION: 18137) 03/18/09 15:37:37 ANE4967I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Aggregate data transfer rate: 2,220.91 KB/sec (SESSION: 18137) 03/18/09 15:37:37 ANE4968I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Objects compressed by: 14% (SESSION: 18137) AP
