Since you have a multi-CPU server, what kind of CPU utilization is 50% (the

I've only ever seen bacula take advantage of one CPU; typically I see 50% utilized on one CPU.



What about the CPU utilization on the client?


Around 10% or less, with backups running in the middle of the night.



It is useful to check with /usr/bin/top.


I have cacti running and it keeps excellent track of resources on the network during backups. But this is easily reproduced if you think I should procure more specific IO stats.



Did you try using spooling?


Yes, it puts an enormous load on the backup server; I'm not sure why. I do utilize spooling for incrementals, but I expect them to be slower (which they are).

Thanks,
Ian
