I have my director using an external raid device which exports its filesystem 
with nfs protocol as storage. I just ended my bacula configuration and just 
launched my first remote job. I have this in the report

JobId 3: Job write elapsed time = 00:14:23, Transfer rate = 1.182 M Bytes/second

which seems a little poor to me (our network is currently on a 100M switch, 
we're planning to upgrade with something better in the near future). Currently 
data flows from bacula-fd on client to bacula-sd on bacula server and then the 
storage daemon writes data on a volume mounted in an nfs partition, so data 
goes on the wire at the same time.

Is advisable to enable data spooling in the storage daemon in this situation?

Thanks.
