I have my first backup job running on a Suse Enterprise 10.3 VM. I started the
backup at 1:30 am last night, and at noon it was still running and had only
made about a 7 GB backup file. The system's CPU load is 0.28 or less while the
backup is running, and I've yet to see it go above 2% cpu usage.
The job reports it's running at around 300,000 Bytes/sec, though it starts out
at around 2,000,000 before I see it start dropping and eventually averages out
there.
I've tried messing with the Maximum Network Buffer Size but every change I made
seem to make matters worse instead of better. I've turned on and off GZIP and
it didn't make a difference. I'm not sure what else to consider. It's almost
entirely default settings.
The Director, Client, and Storage are all running on the same VM. I have the
files I'm backing up mounted as network shares, and it's saving the backup file
to a diferent network share. The whole network is setup on gigabit, but even
on a 100 megabit network I should be seeing more speed than I'm getting. What
might I be doing wrong?
