Let me guess, you windows server is 2003? I spent months chasing this with PSS a couple years ago. If your VSS snapshot's are on the same spindles as your data, during times of high IO load windows will simply dump the whole store. The solution was to offload snapshots to different spindles and controller which worked flawlessly ever since. VSS in W2008+ has been improved quite a bit FWIW... So my guess is that bacula instantiates a snapshot and begins dumping the data and IO climbs rather high producing the issue. Where are your snapshots being stored and you might want to run perfmon during your next backup. jlc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
