No. Bacula does not throttle bandwidth. Are you using spooling? Do you
have millions of small files? Are the source disks highly fragmented?
Are we talking about full backups because any other level will spend a
large time finding what files to backup instead of just backing up
every file. Are you running "accurate" backups.
