    The backups are being taken to another virtual server on the SAN.

    across the network?

    We have dedicated drives for backups.

    dedicated drives on a virtual server?

    It appears we have I/O issues

    that much is obvious, as Gail said backups are I\O intensive, reading source and writing the destination

    We have a 10GB connection between the SQL Server and the Backup Server.

    Indicates network bound backups
