slow backup of xp vms with vdr

I am getting very slow backup performance on xp vms

they are only backing up at 400+mb/min

compared to 2008/2003 vms going at well over 1gb/min

vdr is located on a different cluster than the xp vms

what could be the problem?

Check these whether vmtools installed in xp vms and Check Speed settings on VM Network adapaters.

check the ports confiduration at switch level also and make sure you have sufficient physical resources on xp machines. As per my knowledge VDR  location wont impcat speed. I never find this problem with VDR/Veeam.
