I just checked our installation (direct-to-tape backup, lto5, LAN gigabit connectivity), and I'm not seeing any significant performance issues between windows and Linux clients.
The evidence is naturally anecdotal though as several backups are running concurrently, but I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary here. Example for a rather large windows machine: Full 5252701 3.31 TB 2019-02-22 17:00:00 2019-02-23 13:15:21 20:15:21 47.64 MB/s Linux machine, different client, same bacula host (9.4.2): Full 130206 2.13 TB 2019-02-25 21:17:34 2019-02-26 06:16:48 08:59:14 69.15 MB/s The windows machine has many small files (file server), so this fact alone is probably enough to explain the 25mb/sec difference in throughput. All the best, Uwe _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
