I've been trying to optimize the backup speed of my bacula installation. My full backups, no spooling, max out at around 12-13MB/s per client, where I think I should be seeing over 40MB/s. It doesn't appear to affect the speed of per-client backups when more than one client is running at a time. However, I've noticed that the server's load average while in operation is always above 1, and increases for each client it's backing up. So, if 3 clients are being backed-up, I see load averages of above 3 on the server (though CPU utilization is typically less than 50%). I'm not sure if this is normal, or is in any way affecting the speed I'm seeing...
Regardless of figuring our the root cause, can anyone tell me if they're seeing the same loads on their servers? I'd like to rule this out as an issue, if possible. I thought I've seen on this list people reporting loads of less than 1 so I'm a little alarmed by this.
