Sanity check!
On our Exagrid we have a single 1GB NIC and two 10GB NICs. From the beginning we configured the Linux Managed Server/Repository to point to the 1GB NIC assuming that the Veeam Datamover magically knew about and utilized the 10GB NICS for backups. Considering how slow our backups are Im wondering if our network is misconfigured and we should be pointing to the 10GB.
You should use the 10GB if you can. Never used these appliances before but I know most have an “assignment” of traffic types to each NIC like MGMT for 1GB and DATA for 10GB.

Hi
Your 1Gb NICs should be used for mgmt only, & your 10Gb NICs for data. Connect your 10 Gigs to your storage network. Also, depending on the storage protocol you're using (iSCSI?), you should change your MTU to 9000 (Jumbo Frames). And make sure EVERY device in the storage path is using Jumbo Frames (switches, Repo, Repo NICs).
Also, what Transport Mode are you using & how is it set up? Your Proxies should be configured for Automatic or DirectStorage for fastest method.
