I've done a bunch of testing since my last post, and the slowdown appears to be CPU usage on the client file daemon (bacula-fd). bacula-fd consumes all the cpu resource it can get, and tends to transfers data faster (40 MB/s) on to the director on a machine with better CPU, even though th

In response to Jordan Desroches <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Compression is not enabled in the FileSet. Can you isolate where the bottleneck is? IO? CPU? Network? There are frequently discussions about throughput being sub-optimal on the lists. In my experience, these fall into a few categories:

Greetings! First, I apologize if this comes through multiple times. I'm having trouble connecting to the list. I've been trying to bake off AMANDA and Bacula in our environment, and have run up against a Bacula performance snag. Amanda is regularly able to average ~50 MB/s over our network, whil
