Backup server networking It is important to consider the whole network when considering backup performance, any server acting as a backup server should be configured where possible with multiple network ports that are teamed / bonded in order to provide a fast connection to the LAN. Client servers (those that back up via a backup server) may be connected with only a single port, if backups are to be aggregated through the backup server. Ensure that no sub-1Gbit network components are in the backup path because this will significantly restrict backup performance. 18

Backup server networking
It is important to consider the whole network when considering backup performance, any server acting as a
backup server should be configured where possible with multiple network ports that are teamed / bonded in
order to provide a fast connection to the LAN. Client servers (those that back up via a backup server) may be
connected with only a single port, if backups are to be aggregated through the backup server.
Ensure that no sub-1Gbit network components are in the backup path because this will significantly restrict
backup performance.
