I am using Bacula 5.0.2 using MySQL on Centos 5.4
x64. I’m trying to restore some files from a backup I made a
couple months ago. I the restore is about 1.5 TB in size and spans two
LTO4 tapes. I can start the restore just fine and the first 5GB flies by
in a minute or so, then the restore sort of stalls and starts crawling.
It slows down to about 1MB/s down from about 70MB/s. There are only about
15,000 files on the tapes and I am restoring to a local Raid 0 array.
I tried to bextract the files with and without a bootstrap
file and the speed is still very slow. I also verified I have the correct
the indexes in Mysql and I compacted the database.
At this rate, I don’t think the restore will finish,
because it is going so slow.
Any ideas on what’s going on?
