Hi,
We have backuppc running on a server, with an NFS mount to a NAS device.
Everything is gigabit, there is only 1 nic in the backuppc server connected
to the switch, so traffic comes in from the servers we're backing up and
then straight back out the same nic to the NFS mount.
I'm finding significant performance drops in backing up data to the NAS via
the backuppc server. When we run backups to the local storage in the server,
the backups run much faster and the network usage is almost triple. I know
NFS won't be as fast as the local storage, but is it possible the network
card is conngested?
Would it be better to plug in a second nic to the backuppc server and allow
traffic to come in via nic1 and out to the nfs mount via nic2?
thanks
Stephen
