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?
