Hi Sven, I wouldn't nfs mount anything on my backup server. I would just backup the NFS share on the server-side, i.e. run bacula-fd on the NFS server and add the NFS shared dir to the NFS server's FileSet.
Btw, last night my clients got the following Rates in MB/s: 4,7,14, 21,10 These rates vary due to different network connectivity, i.e. WAN vs LAN, quality of uplinks between switches, backplane bandwidth of switches... Fyi, my backup server is: Dell PE 2650 (1 x 73 GB RAID 1, 1 x 450 GB RAID 0 , 4 GB RAM, 2 GB swap) Bacula 2.0.1 (400 GB of Data-Spooling configured, Current Pools=Weekly, Monthly, Scratch, Migrate, Archive) RHEL 4 AS Quantum PX502 (LTO-3, FC, 1-Drive) Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to use bacula for backup, but the observed perfomance is > not good enough for our use case. > The backup-server running Director, SD and FD (version 1.38.11 on > Debian unstable) is an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+ with 1 GB of ram. > It reads the files via Gbit-ethernet from an NFS-share. > The storage device is an autochanger-library with an HP Ultrium-3 > tape drive, which is attached to the server via an Adaptec > AIC-7892A U160/m-SCSI-card. > > The problem is, that Bacula in a test run gives a rate of upto 18MB/s > with a single large file served from NFS.
