It doesn't matter how fast the server machine is so long as it is faster than the client. The backup speed will still be determined by how fast the client can stream data to the server. So the client is simply unable to perform gzip compression fast enough. Either use no compression, use LZO or some faster compression method on the client, or increase the hardware performance of the client machine. Also, make sure the bacula database, the backup storage area, and the spool directory are not on the same physical drives. That will cause disk thrashing and likely degrade disk write performance on the server. > > Bacula client is a machine with 1.2Tb data (over 1M files).
