I installed some new Dell gigabit switches about a month ago. My performance on backing up server has actually gotten worse. It's a server with about 650 GB. It runs Windows 2003 and has gigabit netw

Are you sure the teamed NIC setup matches on the switch and server? It's not likely that you'll ever exceed 1 gig throughput with backuppc anyway. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell AT gmail DOT com -- Thro

What do you mean by matches? Throughput for this server is generally below average. Some of my older workstations can get 4 MB/sec. This server is often less than 2 MB/sec. However, it did get 11 MB

Teamed NICs need to be configured at both host and switch ends and at least on the linux side there are options for how the balancing/failover works. You could try just using one to see if things get

Mii-tool doesn't really understand gig NICs - use ethtool instead. But the real evidence of problems is in errors in the ifconfig display or the counters on the switch ports. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes

Unless you need the "teamed" NICs for some other reason besides your backups, it doesn't seem like you should even bother with it. Because even at 4MB/second, that is still only 32 Mbit/sec, which a

I have decided to try a direct Ethernet connection between the server and the backuppc machine. I will see what happens. I added a line to the hosts file to make sure that backuppc uses that connecti
