Currently some of the backend drivers are more proof of concept then anything 
else.
I know some people testing the backends to rados as we got some enhancement 
request
which we implemented recently. What is probably killing you is the fact that by
default the blocksize used on any BAREOS file device is the POSIX default e.g.
512 * 126 = 64,512. Don't know what the benchmark test uses for chunks but 
setting
the blocksize on the rados device definition in your bareos-sd.conf will 
probably
crank the speed up. There are some disadvantages of setting the blocksize in the
device however, the docs have quite extensive explanations on how to tune the 
blocksize
which is essentially the same for each type of device. I would also setup 
things as disk
to disk to rados backups e.g. utilizing the local storage as primary storage 
and use
copy/migration jobs to the rados storage. An other thing people are trying is 
using the
rados striper functionality for which you need the current experimental branch 
as my
initial implementation had some errors.
