Hello,

I am new to Bacula and so far i really like it.

I am testing Bacula and at the moment i am trying to backup to disk. Everything 
seems to be working fine except that the file transfers from the client to the 
server are not very fast.

The server's interface is a 2Gbps card, the client's is 10/100mbps, the ports 
on the switch where they both connect is 10/100 so i know i am not going to get 
anything faster than 100mbps. However, i am not getting anywhere near that.

I found out i was using the default "Maximum Network Buffer Size" so i changed 
that to 100mbps or 13107200 bytes, however, when the backup runs it only gets 
to 1489510.4 bytes per second. If i copy the same amount of data between the 
same server using "scp" i get 11MB/s.

Is there anything i can check...?

Thanks, bellow are the relevant config files.
