Backup Problem

First Post

I'm running RH7.1 on my server and I am experiencing a lot of trouble
getting my backups to work. My server is in a corporate Datacenter and
backups are controlled by a group that uses Veritas Netbackup.  Ever
since we installed this box, backups have never worked consistently.
Our network group has set up their switches to run at 100MB Full Duplex.
How can I make sure my NIC is running at this speed and if not, change
it?  The backup will run for a while and then time out.  I'm not saying
the problem is my network setting, but neither Veritas or the backup
group can come up with anything better.
