Hi Carlo, for any modern hardware your rates sound low.
Below is an example I get in my home system (Core2 Duo, 8GB memory, CentOS 5.4 Linux 64-bit), writing to external USB disk, with no compression. Backing up a local disk, catalog database on the same physical disk too (not an ideal combination). FD Files Written: 194,837 SD Files Written: 194,837 FD Bytes Written: 164,511,043,989 (164.5 GB) SD Bytes Written: 164,537,630,363 (164.5 GB) Rate: 24175.0 KB/s Software Compression: None AFAIK, the GZIP9 you are using is the heaviest compression, both in terms of expected ratio, and required cpu load. I think the Bacula documentation mentions that levels over 6 usually result in no significant improvent in ratio, but consume more cpu power. Incremental will be slower than full anyway. But since it's this much slower even in this speed class, makes me think the reason might be something else than compression. But since it shows very different compression ratio, it may also be because of compression / different type of the contents of the files included in the job in average. At first, try lowering the compression level, or totally disable it, to get a reference that helps you restrict the possible reasons to the low throughtput. A guess without knowing your system: if you have a Windows client with antivirus sw that handles every disk access, it could have a heavy impact on this too. -- TiN "Carlo Filippetto" <carlo.filippe...@gmail.com> kirjoitti viestissä news:8791c1920912090138l3afdd208t8ec71c4678b1f...@mail.gmail.com... Hi, I would like to know if is true that I have so slow troughput as this: CATALOG ------- FD Bytes Written: 478,808,703 (478.8 MB) SD Bytes Written: 478,809,069 (478.8 MB) Rate: 402.0 KB/s Software Compression: None INCREMENTAL ------ SD Bytes Written: 40,582,899 (40.58 MB) Rate: 129.7 KB/s Software Compression: 86.2 % SD Bytes Written: 32,037,212 (32.03 MB) Rate: 179.9 KB/s Software Compression: 89.7 % FULL ----- Elapsed time: 1 day 22 hours 13 mins 37 secs Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 237,200 SD Files Written: 237,200 FD Bytes Written: 61,851,118,685 (61.85 GB) SD Bytes Written: 61,883,017,775 (61.88 GB) Rate: 371.7 KB/s Software Compression: 15.5 % All my jobs have the maximum compression Options { compression = GZIP9 #aggiungo compressione massima P.S. is this the maximum compression?? My backups are made on Hard Disk. I tried to use an USB, as an iscsi, as a e-sata device but the rate is so slow.. My best throughput is less then 2Mb/s It's all right, or there something wrong?
