It appeared, in my environment, that the index data going to the backup server 
and the backup data to the storage node "caused" a lot of network traffic to 
be created.  It works fine as long as I send the backups to the backup 
server.

I didn't look into it too much since changing the backups and indexes to go to 
the backup server "fixed" the issues.

At the time,
7.1.2 Solaris 9 for the backup server.
7.1.2 Solaris 10 for the storage node.

Two interfaces on each, one to a dedicated backup network.
