It was suggested that perhaps my 50 GB/hr data rate was due to the client maxing out around that rate. I believe I have verified this. Previously I had been used to seeing much higher rates on another backup system, but I was only backing up servers using high performance SCSI disks, RAIDed together.
I installed the bacula client on one of those servers, where I saw a backup rate of about 77 GB/hr (21375.8 KB/s as reported by bacula). I now see that this is in approximately the same speed I was able to get with Veritas Backup Exec on that particular collection of files. The files in question are videos, about 100MB each, 82 GB total, and probably reasonably well compressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
