Hello. I saw this post recently http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47393.html and it seems I'm affected by this problem too. Bacula shows extremely low performance in networks with high rtt. I have sd in Germany and client in USA. Bacula can make backups on speeds between 5 to 10 Mbit/s which is too slow as backups are up to 600 GB. With simple iperf test I can achieve transfer rates about 100-120 Mbit/s. Why bacula cannot do the same? Compression does not affect transfer speed. Client has plenty of free CPU/memory.
I've made ssh tunnel between hosts and set Address = 127.0.0.1 in Storage section. With this configuration I can see backups are running at speeds about 100 Mbit/s. Bacula version is 5.0.2 from Debian Lenny backports. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by rea...@lmn.name via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
