Very very bad results with max compression, took like 12 or 13
hours...

This baffles me.. as I know that I can do the backup on the same drive
locally in 4 hours on that machine.. and I know I can do the same type
backup on the remote (destination) as well.. so going from D on
ServerA to E on ServerB should just be a limitation of the network,
which benches at 60 MB/s in all of my tests.

Again, I dont think jumbo frames would help.. but I cant even turn
them on , as each nic on each end doesnt have this setting, not sure
what else to test here or fix.
