Both full and differential backup run with same speed. Going through 
filesystem shouldn't affect backup speed. Rsync (which I used for 
testing) is doing pretty much same job - compares checksum of each and 
every file and transfers it if its different. Its 50 times faster than 
Bacula doing same job (50 MB/s against 1 MB/s). Unless Bacula is doing 
something more than simply comparing md5 checksums it should run at 
comparable speed or I'm missing something...
