for the bacula backups on the old bacula server ( for backups of a windows client ), I never noticed that long bacula jobs for incremental and differential ones.
on the new bacula server for the backups of one of the folder: Elapsed timeLevelBytesFilesSpeed 13:45:29 Differential 2.17 MB 42 45.92 B/s 0.35 on the new bacula server for the backups of another folder on the same client: Elapsed timeLevelBytesFilesSpeed 03:00:03 Differential 932.23 MB 1.648 88.36 KB/s how can I find out why there is such a difference? the second folder backup has even more files for backup as you see above but it took less. NOTE: for the first folder: 22 G out of 500 G free space for the second folder 400 G out of 700 free space? not sure if having more free space for the client folders, will affect the speed of backup? any help will be appreciated!
