I expect this is due to the slow hard drive we're using as a backup device and my system is trying to write data over the network, and it's just not being written on the other end fast enough. I've noticed that under the big backups, if I'm utilizing a lot of system resources, my system slows down significantly while doing the backup. Once a week my backup is around 10GB, which takes a little longer. Over gigabit, this is really a non-issue, just a few minutes of network traffic. I know my incremental backup tends to be a few hundred megs a couple times a day. Network IO doesn't seem to be an issue throughout the day. We have a smaller office than yours (7 MBPs/iMacs) backing up to a central server over gigabit ethernet. I'm actually using a network TM backup strategy for our office.
