What are the connections rated for in terms of bandwidth between these two machines? I would check if you have a network issue outside of bacula first. After our deployment of bacula a few years ago, I noticed a couple computers on our network would backup extremely slow (300-500kbps) on a 1gig line. Turns out after running internet speed tests on these computers that the network drivers needed to be updated or switched from the default to vendor specific drivers.

I am backing up a client over the network that is physically about 15 miles away and is running a Windows 2008 R2 Small Business Server . I'm backing up 170 gigabytes. Right now the job has been running for 37 minutes and has backed up 394,920,354 bytes or 0.367798 gigabytes. It is processing at 181,739 bytes per second. Now that is only .17 MB/s at this pace it is only backing up .6 Gigs per hour which means to back up 170Gigs will require nearly two weeks to complete. I understand this is a slow process but I mean there has to be something wrong if its at .17 MB/s!!! I do not have spooling enabled. I am backing up to file(my server), I am not using any compression in the FileSet Resource and I am using the MD5 signature. Please help me out here!!!
