Hello,
I am using bacula to backup system A's home directories ( i.e. /home/   
about 3.5TB )
using system B ( both gnu linux)
System B can see /home/ because it is NFS mounted and bacula is set up 
for filestorage ( see below)
I have set up the pool to have 600 volumes of 5GB each ( using GZIP 
compression )
Questions:
1) The other way to go would be to set systemA up as a client. Which 
method would be best?
2) The differentials and incrementals take a long time and I am unsure 
why?  I would have expected them to go more quickly. Is it related to 
using compression?
3) systemA exports /home/ to other servers and is quite busy during 
working hours. Is there a good way to set up bacula so that if it is 
running during working hours the impact on performance is minimal?

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

  }

        wildfile = "*.o"
