[Bacula-users] Bacula causing high disk-io on clients

Hi there :-) I mentioned, that bacula-client causes a high disk-io on the systems, which are handled on daily backup tasks. Is it possible to use something like ionice to avoid this behavior? Thanks in advance :-) +-- |This wa

You mean the bacula client? This was downloaded from the repos (apt-get install bacula-client). Is this usually built with lzo-compression? I'd like to give it a try this night :-) +-- |This was sent by r...@ehrenwert.it via B
