Hi

I've been confronted at the same situation, and that was due to the compression that was enabled on the FileSet. You can try to disable it and see the network transfer performance.

The workaround was to disable compression for some file extensions

Hi,

I will try to describe my problem with slow transfer rate.

I was setup Bacula server and now every day I will put one by one instances in backup.

Yesterday I was put one instances and backup was done fine. But for about 47,000 files, sum size 930 MB, bacula is transfer for 11 minutes. Transfer rate is about 1,230 KB/s.

That's very slow. I try to measure bandwidth with iperf. Both instances are on linux. That was Gigabite network between two nodes. 

Iperf says:

Interval            Transfer             Bandwidth

0.0-10.0 sec     1.08 GBytes    928 Mbits/sec 

I don’t have any Bandwidth statement in configuration file.

How can I run backup faster ?

What are the SpoolData and SpoolAttributes settings for the job? This is likely due to database issues. Make sure that SpoolAttributes=yes so that database updates happen in a batch at the end of the job, rather than during the job. If writing to tape, then make sure SpoolData=yes. If writing to disk, then SpoolData=no.
