Hi esozio and welcome to the community!

Based on the bottleneck stats the issue comes from the source storage disk, as it means that the job spent most of the time on reading the data from storage.
You can review the sticky thread for additional information.
Please continue the investigation with the support team. Thanks!

Hi, DGrinev

The extrange thing is that now we change the repository (a simple Windows share) and the performance it's a lot better (150 MB/s)...but still not good enogout for direct san read access.

Are the drivers and firmware of your backup server up to date?

Can you please check the job session and make sure direct SAN is actually used (there's a [san] tag after the proxy server name)?

I'd look at this from the storage perspective, provided the job reports source to be primary bottleneck.

I'm quoting myself ;)
I've had some cases were old drivers or firmware on HPE equipment were causing performance issues. Please also try to set your server to high performance in the BIOS energy settings.
