I tend to disagree with this.

Two points to add to this: 1) Turn off compression for the fileset, or set it to GZIP1. If you're backing up to tape, you probably don't need software compression anyway. Otherwise, GZIP1 will still give you some compression, while relaxing the load on the client. 2) The file daemon is liable to be IO-bound, especially during incrementals when it's simply scanning every file in the fileset to find out the last modified time. I'm no Windows expert, but on most systems, changing the priority of a process has little or no effect on its use of IO, since the process is usually not using the CPU during IO. The result is that lowering its priority may not help much. If the FD is actually causing problems, then you need to get faster disks. > On 7/5/06, Michael Roth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi there, anyone know to run Bacula File Daemon for windows with a lower > > priority, or cape the cpu threads?... > > > > The daemon/service for the bacula client runs on a Windows 2003 Server.. > > There are also an Webserver / Mailserver and a Database Server on the same > > machine...
