Hi,

I have some backups going at 2MB/s which for a 380gig backup is just too slow. 
I’m trying to find my bottleneck.

Some questions:

- Is the rate of the backup only shown in “messages” or is it stored in the db 
anywhere. Or could I just do jobbytes / endtime-starttime in the jobs table?

- Does bacula write data to disk via a stream or lots of little latency 
dependant writes?

My environment looks like this

- Bacula (and postgres on the same VM), a MS Small business server and 3 or 4 
other VMs run on a 6 disk array of 7200rpm SATA disks ( I bet this is already 
my slowpoint )
- Bacula stores its backups on a NFS mounted NAS, about .7ms of ping away.

Tips/Suggestions?

Jeff.
