Hi Josh, Thanks for your reply.

I don’t use compression or encryption, but VSS. I disabled VSS and get about 40 MByte/s. If I also set acl support = no, I get about 43 MByte/s. It’s better, but far away from the 90 MByte/s from a linux box with similar data. Last night I have took a look at the bacula console during the full backups and could see one Windows clients with 65 MByte/s. This server hosts a SQL Server with big database dump files. The Bacula File Daemon is faster with big files. How can I tune the Bacula File Daemon to increase the transfer rate for a lot of small files? Can I set the maximum memory usage? Is a ramdisk which collects the files from the hard drive and send it as bunches to bacula possible? During the full backup the bacula-fd.exe process on one windows host has the following memory statistics (from Process Explorer) Private Bytes 9.884 K Peak Private Bytes 688.128 K Virtual Size 120.144 K Page Faults 234.738 Page Fault Delta 0 Regards, Patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
