Yes, its dedicated backup network and target device is DD. NIC is 1GB card. But Backup is running in Kb/s and checked the details in NIC proprieties. its in full duplex mode.
For 2nd question:
Its a VMWARE client and I could see nsrvmwsd service is running in backup sever. So, do we need to install any separate module for it or can we take the backup in normal method?
It is up to you how you backup SQL and achieve consistency:
- either you export the db and backup this location or
- you use a SQL module (NMM)
However, if you struggle with such a low data rate I doubt there is another more 'general' problem. You better check this first by backing up a bunch of large files.
So, you are saying that you want to backup this SQL server as a normal client and also as a VM image.
Remember that for backing up a VM as an image you have to have a proxy server (VCB or VADP) and a whole other configurations have to be done (refer VMWARE integration guide on the support site).
There are a lot of factors that influence backup speed line Disk read through put, hops between the client and backup server, hops between client machine and the DD.
are you using the DD as AFTD or as a DD ? As bingo already suggested try to do a normal file system backup and check th e write speeds. Also, try to copy a normal file over the network from the SQL server to the backup server and note the speeds. This will help you better understand the state of your environment and might narrow the location of the bottleneck causing the low speed.

its all about the network,
How much speed can your NIC support?
Do you have a dedicated network for backups ?
What is the type of your target device ?
As for your second question, can you please elaborate it a little more.Are you referring to a Hyper-V or to a VMWARE client ?
