Hi

I had very slow backup times with a Ubuntu server 10.04 running the 
Bacula director, 5.01 and handling a Windows 2008 R2 server with 
Bacula-fd 5.2. I discovered that the throughput of the ethernet adapter 
(broadcom) in the Windows Server was VERY low ..

I solved the problem after some Googling and by changing the settings of 
the ethernet cards : LSO and Jumbo Frames were set to 'LSO Enabled, 
Jumbo off'. I changed the setting to  'Both disabled'. This increased by 
10 the throughput of the card. And I run backups at 50Mbytes/sec today.

No warranty however ! This solved my problem for my configuration.

Hope this helps,

Paul
