Yeah, I am aware of this issue. However, i've also tried to carry out the backup using a VPN tunnel that I have setup. The copy of files via vpn tunnel is as fast as without it 1-2mbyte/s. Then doing bacula backup using the VPN tunnel i get about 50kbyte/s, which is about the same as doing a backup without vpn. So the problem does not involve the datacenter. -- Andrei > ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
