Hello Marco,


> Anyway, i'm hit another trouble. Seems that creating the spool file took an
insane amount of time: source to backup are complex dirs, with millions of
files. Filesystem is ZFS.



Is the ZFS local? Does it have ZFS compression or dedup enabled? I wouldn't use 
those options for data spooling. You have to also consider the number of disks:

You can test Disks reading and writing capacity with hdparm, dd/iostat.

And network with iperf:

I wouldn't also use Bacula compression software compression for tapes.



> How can i do to improve the spooling performance? What factors impact more?



Probably better network and better/more disks, such as Enterprise Grade 
NVMe/SSDs.



Rgds.
