It wrapped pretty badly, but let me see if I'm interpreting this right (I'm no BSD expert, either): 1. Your server has ~250MB of memory. 2. Load average during backups is only 0.1-0.01? Does BSD calculate load average differently than Linux? Linux calculates load average by looking at the number of runnable tasks - this means if you have a single process waiting on disk IO you will have a load average of 1. If BSD calculates the load average the same way, then that means your server is not waiting on disk, but waiting for the clients. What's the load like on the clients you are backing up? -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
