Hello,
So i am trying to back up my file server with Bacula and i am having
a difficult time getting it to work. I am able to back up desktops at
7MB/s, non-virtualized windows servers at 4.7MB/s, virtualized
desktops at 4.7MB/s and virtualized windows servers at 100KB/s.....??
The servers are any of Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows 2003 R2, the
desktops (virtualized or not) are Windows XP SP3/SP2. My hosts server
all run Citrix XenServer Enterprise, running on HP blades with 8GB
of RAM and dual quad core CPUs on SAS HDDs. The VMs storage resides
in an HP EVA4400 connected via fiber.
If i mount server1's (virtualized windows 2003) share on the bacula
server and copy the same amount of data(3.1GB) it gets done in about
6min. If i copy the data via "scp" it gets done in about 5min at a
rate of 11MB/s.
But when i run bacula on any virtualized windows 2003 server the
data rate doesnt go higher than 200KB/s.
NOTE: That i am backing all this up to disk.
Here are the relevant config files:
bacula-dir.conf:
Job {
Name = test1
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = <I USE ANY OF THE CLIENTS BELLOW TO TEST THE SAME SETTINGS>
FileSet = "wintest"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr"
Priority = 10
}
Client {
Name = vir-server1-fd
Address = vir-server1.DOMAIN.COM
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "asdfasdfsadfaf" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 14 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 1 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = ph-desktop1-fd
Address = ph-desktop1.DOMAIN.COM
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "asdfsadfdsafsdafasd" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = vir-desktop2-fd
Address = vir-desktop2.DOMAIN.COM
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "asdfsdfdsfsadfa/" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 3 days # one year
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
LabelFormat = File-
}
bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /bacula-staging/backups
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 13107200
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Thanks
