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 ------ Romer Ventura ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
