I spool in 50GB chunks. For full backups, network transfer rates hover 
around 5MB/s, while streaming to tape varies:

  * 35MB/s -- development hosts (lots of source code)
  * 22MB/s -- home and project directories (mixed code and binaries)
  * 16MB/s -- database server (mostly binaries)

I suspect the median speed is about 22MB/s, but I've never subjected 
my Bacula logs to statistical analysis. :-)

Overall speed (spooling, streaming to tape, writing attrs to database) 
is around 3MB/s.

Oh, yeah, this is 2.0.3 (server and all clients) to a Dell PowerVault 
122T with an Ultrium LTO-2 drive.
