Hello,
   I have exactly the same problem: Too slow filesystem traversal by
Bacula Windows Client. I think that it has to be some problem with
Bacula Client cross compilation (low level of compiler optimalization?),
some setting or some other little thing, because if I switch the
client to Bareos, incremental backup is usually two to three times
faster than with Bacula client in my environment. I tried many
versions of clients including the oldest clients from times, when
projects "splitted", but behavior of all versions has been the
same: All Bacula clients were two to three times slower than all
Bareos clients for incremental backups in my environment. Very
disappointing and I did not find anything yet, what could change that.


Are you using the same Maximum Network Buffer size on both? People have reported issues in the past with the default 64k Maximum Network Buffer Size on Windows. Try reducing that to 32k.



I have two Windows servers. The first one is doable using Bacula Windows
Client, but on the second one, I had to switch to Bareos Windows Client,
because Bacula Windows Client did not want to finish under 20 hours,
while Bareos Windows Client needs just 8 to 9 hours.

And I really do not know, what to do after a year, two or three...

Best regards.

Thanks folks,

I have a feeling it's nothing to do with the network, but the speed of
bacula searching the filesystem.

In 1 minute it only searched 11k (Examined=67,235 & 60seconds later
Examined=72,873)

Any ideas except get a better server?
and the following seems to be showing that there is only 1 process scanning
the files?
