The servers that I am backing up with bacula have on the order of 11TB
of data 4.5 million files.
The data resides on NAS appliances that are incapable of running the
bacula FD natively so I'm forced to back the data up over GbE and NFS
mounted on the server that is running DIR, SD, FD and the db.
The server is a 2cpu 2+GHz Xeon Solaris 10 x86 server with 4GB of RAM.
It's currently taking 36+ hours from the start of the backup job to when
the first files are written to tape.
This makes it difficult to do incremental backups in a reasonable
timeframe.
I've seen mention here on the list of others backing up multi-terabyte
servers - I'm looking for suggestions on how to optimize and speed up
the backup process.
Thanks!
Alan
