Hi all,
I've been using Bacula to back up my NAS for some time, and it's been
working well. I see effective backup rates of about 30MB/s all told
(100MB+ unspooling from SSD to tape, maxing out the LTO6 drive).
Unfortunately when I added my desktop PC to the backup cycle, I found
that the effective rate dropped like a rock, to single-digit megabytes
per seconds.
The machines are both fairly fast -- the desktop machine (backup source
running the FD) is a Ryzen 5 5600X, and the server (with the SAS SSD and
tape drive) is an Intel Core i5-9400.
The network is gigabit end-to-end, and the transfer rates I'm seeing are
very poor. Other applications taking the same path are much faster.
Both systems are running Debian derivatives -- the desktop runs Mint
with Bacula 13.0.4, and the server runs Ubuntu 24.04 with the same
version of Bacula.
Is there anything I can do to improve performance backing up over the
network, before I resort to a nightly Rsync from the workstation to the
server and backing up from there?
Thanks.

Phil.
