Hi --

Getting about 41.6/MBs and hoping for closer to the max (120MB). I
tried maximum file sizes of 5, 8, 12GB -- 12GB the best the others
where about 35/MBs. Any advise welcomed...should I look at max/min
block sizes?
most of the data is big, genetics data -- filesizes avg in the 500/MB
to 3-4/GB -- looking at a growth from 4TB to 15TB in the next 2 years.

run results and bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf below...

thanks
