Backup Exec has a local "Agent" on the PC to be backed up that can evaluate 
the backup needs locally on command from the central software. It also reads 
the files and compresses them before sending over the LAN thus speeding up 
things considerably.
Normally only FULL backups handle lots of data, all nightlies only need to
process changed files so the load is much lower.

It looks to me a backup software issue.

Doing a network backup is fine, as long as the bandwidth and transfer 
rate is enough to complete it in time.

AFAIK Dantz makes software targeted at small and midsized business, 
maybe their software have issues with "large" directories with a lot of 
files and folders - Windows itself has some too. Higher level tools like 
BackupExec should be designed to handle complex and large backups.
