Hi, 

This item was part of the previous voting and it has not been
implemented yet...


Item n:   Multiple threads in file daemon for the same job
  Date:   27 November 2005
  Origin: Ove Risberg (Ove.Risberg at octocode dot com)
  Status:

  What:   I want the file daemon to start multiple threads for a backup
          job so the fastest possible backup can be made.

          The file daemon could parse the FileSet information and start
          one thread for each File entry located on a separate
          filesystem.

          A confiuration option in the job section should be used to
          enable or disable this feature. The confgutration option could
          specify the maximum number of threads in the file daemon.

          If the theads could spool the data to separate spool files
          the restore process will not be much slower.

  Why:    Multiple concurrent backups of a large fileserver with many
          disks and controllers will be much faster.


If anyone know any better way to make fast backups of a fileserver with 
many filesystems please tell me (and the list) how to do it.

One way to make faster backups is to start one job per filesystem but
the configuration and restore is more complicated.
