How long does it take to copy those files to a share on another windows computer? If you test that, make sure you 'pull' the files from another computer rather than 'push' them (eg originate the copy on the other computer). That should test your network and disk IO without involving Bacula. It would have to be an order of magnitude different at least to draw any real conclusions though. > > Then, after adding lowest-level (GZIP1) compression: > > Elapsed time: 2 mins 43 secs > Priority: 10 > FD Files Written: 4,648 > SD Files Written: 4,648 > FD Bytes Written: 308,509,378 (308.5 MB) > SD Bytes Written: 309,228,685 (309.2 MB) > Rate: 1892.7 KB/s > Software Compression: 53.6 % > VSS: yes > Encryption: no > Accurate: no > Can you zip up the files to another computer? That might be a bit tricker to organise in a way that is similar to how bacula works... > Any ideas what is the bottleneck here? I think 1GB of memory should be > enough for XP alone.

Try disabling the firewall service in services.msc - just turning off the windows firewall on the network adapter is not sufficient, you have to stop the service.
