Hi all, it looks like I can now backup to tape so I am on to the next
question. I want to optimize Bacula for my environment and am looking
for any tips.

Bacula server stats

* Server type: Dell 2950
* Number of CPUs: 8 @ 2.33 GHz
* Memory: 8 GB RAM
* OS: Slackware 11 64 bit
* DB: 64 bit MySQL 5.0.45
* I/O controllers: 2 x  LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X
Fusion-MPT SAS (2 SAS ports on each card)

Tape loader stats

* Dell ML6020
* Technology: LTO-4
* Number of drives: 4
* Interface: SAS

Data information

* There are roughly 23,000 - 25,000 compressed media files, with an
average size of ~700 MB. The total amount of data that needs to be
backed up is ~30 TB.  These files are mounted via NFS to an Isilon
storage array. The Isilon has a number of unused GigE connections so
we're connecting eth1 of the Bacula server directly to the unused GigE
on the Isilon and mounting the NFS over that interface.
* We want to do incrementals each work day with a full on the last
work day of the month.
* All services are running on the Dell 2950

Miscellany

* We have a 240 GB local reiserfs partition for spool/scratch.

Are there any OS/app tweaks I could look at to squeeze as much
performance possible out of my configuration?
