Can you write a bit more about their backup2disk setup? They must have many very large raid arrays witch they then use as bacula sd-devices. > It does take some big iron to run such operations, but Bacula can and is > handling it.

Accurate Backup together with Dedup would be a great feature (Bacula already used the database for Accurate Backup, so adding a dedup feature seems not too far away). > The above is only one example.

I'm happy with the performance of bacula and our LTO4 drives. A single job is able to write with 130 MB/s to tape ;) Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
