"We are using Bacula 5.2.5 to backup a server with a huge amount of files.
After a full backup was done (It took 3+ days), the incremental took 10+ hours. Notice the lines in the log: 27-Jan 23:10 server-xxx-fd JobId 1157: /run is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into it. 28-Jan 09:16 server-xxx-fd JobId 1157: /boot is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into it. We are not defining the size of the volumes, so all the data from the job goes into just one volume. We have 3.4M files in this incremental. Could this be the cause of the delay? What would be the best approach to tune this beast? Thanks! Log: ------------------------------------------------ 27-Jan 23:10 server-xxx-fd JobId 1157: /dev is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into it. 27-Jan 23:10 server-xxx-fd JobId 1157: /run is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into it. 28-Jan 09:16 server-xxx-fd JobId 1157: /boot is a different filesystem.

This seems low if you're running the backup on a server that is connected locally(not via the internet). What are you backing up to? If this is a tape drive or an Ethernet networked device it should not be transferring that slowly. I have a backup that runs over a slightly slower ethernet link(a 36mbps wireless bridge) and runs around 1321 KB/s. I guess I would need to know if you're expecting the transfer to only work at 253 KB/s for some reason. If not, you would have to investigate why it's that slow. I don't think it would be a Bacula problem as much as an issue with something else. It could be a physical problem(SAS/SCSI cables/Ethernet cables/Switch/Ethernet card) or software such as config or buggy drivers.
