Our new master server is Solaris, not Windows, but we did recently add a
largish Windows file server client. It's currently dumping about 7TB
to LTO4 in around 24 hours. In this case the bottleneck is the client's
Gigabit Ethernet, which runs at a steady 80-90MB/sec the whole time.
No NTFS compression on the Windows client, no FlashBackup, no multiplexing,
and buffer settings are:
SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS 262144
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS 32
The client is Win2k8R2 server, storage is Dell MD1200, 11x 2TB nearline
SAS drives configured as a RAID-6 array.

Marion
