First off, throw your assumptions away. You're assuming that Bacula should be able to run at the same speed as the disk. Turn off compression and see if it comes close. Then watch top and iostat while a backup is running and see what kind of resources the whole process is utilizing. Check your MySQL insert performance and see if that's holding things up. I give it a 50% chance that the CPU is the bottleneck, not the disk. -Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
