Hi,
I'm using bacula to do backups of some remote servers, over the Internet
encapsulated in OpenVPN (just to make sure things are encrypted and kept off
public address space).
The bacula-fd is in Montreal Canada with 100mbit Ethernet. I also have
another bacula-fd in Canberra Australia on 100mbit Ethernet. The
bacula-director is in Sydney Australia with ADSL2+ at full line sync. The
latency to Montreal is about 300ms while the latency to Canberra is about
30ms.
The problem I'm encountering. backups from the Montreal box will peak at a
transfer rate of 100kb/sec despite my ability to do 2.2mb/sec via http, ftp,
ssh, rsync, etc. from the same host.
The backups from Canberra come down at 1.2-2mb/sec.
A backup of 6GB of data will take about 12 hours from Montreal, but will be
less than an hour from Canberra.
So it appears the problem is network latency. Is there anything I can try to
improve backup speeds from Montreal?
Regards,
Peter Hoskin
