1. After some amount of RX Bytes approx 10 TB suddenly high amount of RX Drops observed which causes backup failures. After eth1 down/up issue resolved.

This is probably hardware related. Do you get any messages in the logs when this happens?
The problem could be at the other end as well. What are these bonded interfaces connected to?

That is to be expected, especially for inbound traffic.
It all depends on the bonding policy. You can configure the bonding policy to be "round-robin", which means outbound traffic will be more or less equally distributed among the participating interfaces. However, you have no control over the bonding policy for incoming traffic, as that's decided by the equipment at the other end.
If your bonded interfaces are connected to another Linux box with a similar setup and a "round-robin" policy, you should expect incoming traffic to be just about equally distributed among the physical links. Switches, however, seldom support an RR policy, and will instead load balance based on MAC or IP addresses.
