I ran bacula and it backed up this ENTIRE client in like 7 minutes. After 40 minutes, backuppc has only backed up a measly 300MB... of a total of 1.5GB. I am not even sure how much aready was in-use on the partition after creating the new partition.

Can I disable deduplication or compression? The load is very high. This back-up server (virtual machine) has a powerful processor, although only 1GB memory (that is not fully used). Even running this simple 1 job is very very slow. See http://images.codepad.eu/v-ISmSn6.png for high cpu usage. Last time this back-up ran succesfully for the entire server (1.7GB) it took more than 12 hours (after which I manually canceled the back-up). This back-up job ran in 7 minutes(!) on Bacula. I however would prefer to use BackupPC in the future and I hope people can help me getting decent performance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
