Quote: Hi
I have a Quantum Scalar i500 and it works in Bacula, but it is very slow. It writes at 22mb/sec. The drives should be able to do a lot more then that. I have to backup 11TB that takes a couple of days to complete, I don't want to think how long it would take to restore Sad This is the output I get from btape without hardware compression: * did you enable (at least attribute) spooling? * with what speed can you actually read the data ? (try to make a tar of a large directory "time tar -cf /dev/null <path/to/directory>" ) * is the storage daemon on the same machine as the 11tb data? - Thomas Hi Thomas The spooling attribute was not enabled, I have enabled it now. This is what I get writing to disk and then also writing that file to tape with tar: This is a 10gb file to disk: ]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/bigfile bs=1M count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 189.551 seconds, 55.3 MB/s This is writing that 10gb file with tar to tape: ]# time tar -czf /dev/Drive1 /home/bigfile tar: Removing leading `/' from member names real 2m53.655s user 2m39.219s sys 0m28.415s ]# The 11Tb I have to backup is on a NetApp, the NetApp is mounted via NFS on the backup host and is getting the data from there to write to disk. ekke85 +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by ekk...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
