Hi,

First of all I just noticed I called you John not Josh! Sorry for this!

Second, I turned off LSO and TCP/UDP offload on the client machine. But it
did not help. Statistic from the recent full backup:

  Client:                 "dc4-fd" 9.4.4 (28May19) Microsoft Standard
Edition (build 9200), 64-bit,Cross-compile,Win64
  FileSet:                "dc4-fs" 2021-10-07 14:07:40
  Pool:                   "ServersWeeklyFullFile" (From Job resource)
  Catalog:                "MyCatalog" (From Client resource)
  Storage:                "File" (From Pool resource)
  Scheduled time:         30-Oct-2021 10:11:24
  Start time:             30-Oct-2021 16:38:10
  End time:               30-Oct-2021 23:55:22
  Elapsed time:           7 hours 17 mins 12 secs
  Priority:               10
  FD Files Written:       683,088
  SD Files Written:       683,088
  FD Bytes Written:       323,645,624,433 (323.6 GB)
  SD Bytes Written:       323,794,732,581 (323.7 GB)
  Rate:                   12337.8 KB/s
  Software Compression:   None
  Comm Line Compression:  None
  Snapshot/VSS:           yes
  Encryption:             no
  Accurate:               no

We have a 1 Gbps connection between bacula sd and the client machine.
The network test from the storage shows this:

Running network test between Client=dc4-fd and Storage=File with 52.42 MB
...
2000 OK bytes=52428800 duration=429ms write_speed=122.2 MB/s
2000 OK bytes=52428800 duration=453ms read_speed=115.7 MB/s

This shows that there is 1 Gbps connection between the storage and the
client.
Where is the bottleneck?

Thanks,

Andras
