Hi guys,

I come back with something with I've found, the server where the SD resides has 2 jobs. One runs really slow, it backus mainly small files, while another one on the same machine with bigger files runs at rates around 20 times faster! Could it the cause? I mean, the bunch of small files?

Thanks in advance!

small files, are always a great impact on performance.
This could be one of the major issues you have with performance.
there could be other too.

you could do a test and pack all the small files to a compressed file, and back that
up from that server, and see if you get performance near to the server
you backup with large files.
