How to speed up Backup Exec job

We are running Backup Exec 9.1 with the Exchange plugin.
Our job backs up at last count 152 GB and takes just over 8 hours.
Is there any way to configure the job to be faster or do I need to look at upgrading.
If so does anyone know if version 11 is still available as this is a direct upgrade and if my research is correct uses granular backup which speeds up the task?
Thanks!

What are you backing up?
If you are backing up both the information store and the mailboxes/public folders then you are basically backing up Exchange twice. You only need the information for a valid Exchange backup.

We are backing up both the information store and the mailboxes at brick level.
This is where I think I am using up most of the time.
Upgrading sounds like the most feasable solution.
Ideally YES
