Adding to the good comments already made by others, I suggest enabling at least compression, and very soon encryption, for the WAN systems. Bacula has both compression and encryption done in the client, so you both spread the CPU workload and reduce the data transferred across the relatively slow connection. YMMV, but as an example we have one system that uncompressed is in the 18-19 GB range, after compression it only transfers just under 3 GB across the wire. I found last night that the combination of encryption and compression is not working at the moment in CVS, but after reporting it to the list last night Robert Nelson thinks he has an easy fix, which should be committed very soon. -- -- Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
