I ended up working myself into the ground getting the backup system going and missed part of the day today. Tonight everythign is going to run as is limping along until I can find the issue.
Morty: My core switch is HP Procurve 5412 which is managed. The ports are set to auto and the two nic's on the server are gigabit. I'll run the tests with the tools you have mentioned. Some of these I've never used before so its a learn as I go approach. James: The nic's in the server are Broadcom's netextreme II's. I would assume that they would support checksum offload and large tcp packet offload, but I really I'm not sure. Ralf: The local dd and local bacula to tape was good, avg 112 Mb/s. By testing the performance between the data server and bacula-sd, I'm assuming your refering to the server I'm backing up from to my backup server. I'll give the tools you mentioned a try and see where it takes me. Thomas: Your right, your setting is close to mine. I would run 1 backup at a time if I could pull the speeds that I get from a local backup, so currently I'll be pushing more backup's at once until I can find the issues causing this. The tools from Dell you had mentioned is one I had come across and was pondering. I'll give it a whirl. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by skip...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
