Greg.
Without 100% gigbit (no 100MBit links/switches routers...) or better between the
bacula server and the data you will not get better than 10MB/s, this is why I 
asked
that.

Indeed. However even for those hosts that do have 100Mb somewhere between them and the tape drive, one might expect better than 3.5MB/s - as I said, with some tweaking.

Another speed factor we've noticed (which has possibly been discussed ad nauseum elsewhere on this list) is that our full backup on one machine runs at some 14MB/s, then its incrementals all run in the 40s. We are quite sure that this is due to it backing up a large file (a VMWare instance) in every incremental, compared with all of the little files in the full.

Greg.
