I am aware that more nic's do not increase throughput. Basically a backup server has to be in place tonight and I really don't want to start from scratch and now reaching for anything that will resolve the issue within the next few hours. +--

We are running a Gigabit network. All servers have gigabit connection. I looked more in detail on the other server identical to ours and the other difference I found is that TL2000 is connected via scsi instead of SAS. Right now I pulled the drives and put some spares in to install win2k3 an

What would it take to clear up the network bottleneck. I was looking at another server that came with our gaming system. Same server (memory, hd, etc) and tape library, running on win2k3 and netbackup with no issues. The only difference is, it's running 4 nic's. So it's leaving me a bit baffle

I can run multiple concurrent backups to the 1 drive. I was doing that with our AIT setup. right now the new server is set to do 3 backups, but I think I could kick it up to 5. I added a 2nd nic in so I'm now running two 1 gig nics to the core switch (which is where all the servers that are be

After returning to my office this morning, I had found the server was connected to a 10/100 switch. I had moved it to the rack and connected it to the switch 10/100/1000 and nic 1 pulls 1000 on ethtools nic 2 pulls 100 on ethtools. After futher investigation, it looks like nic 2 is capped at 1

That's what I was figuring. I'm assuming Gigabit is what is required and was under the assumption that these nics were gigabit. If someone could confirm 2 gigabit nics will suffice? If they are I'm betting the server and plugged into our test switch (10/100) instead of the home where it belon

Janusz Both nics reported back at 100 Mb/s I'm beginning to think the network is the bottleneck. I ran a backup on my server with bacula. backing up the file I have been using. A 3.4Gb in 2 min and the only reason for it taking so long was because of a tape change in the library. So locally we

I found another site showing the use of byte size and dd and after playing with it a bit i can hold 115 MB/s easy and backup my 3.5 GB file like nothing. I'm looking through Bacula documents, I don't recall if this can be set or not in the config files. +---
