I use flexbackup with an Adaptec 2940UW and a HP Surestore DAT24 drive. I have only recently started using flexbackup having found it the best tool I could find, but the first backup I tried, took a ridiculously long time (it was transferring at 50k per second, which for a SCSI DAT is not right).
I installed BUFFER to no avail. Am I missing something here? Is there a confiuration option I need to set? I set it to use DUMP because I dont know anything about AFIO, but would it be better with AFIO?
Here is the .conf part for buffer: $buffer = 'buffer'; # one of false/buffer/mbuffer $buffer_megs = '20'; # buffer memory size (in megabytes) $buffer_fill_pct = '75'; # start writing when buffer this percent full $buffer_pause_usec = '100'; # pause after write (tape devices only)
Compression: $compress = 'bzip2'; # one of false/gzip/bzip2/lzop/zip/compress/hardware $compr_level = '4'; # compression level (1-9) (for gzip/bzip2/lzop/zip)
SCSI Part: $device = '/dev/st0'; $blksize = '10';
Atimes and DUMP dates are off, maybe I am just being stupid here, if so someone please slap me... =)
If you need more info please let me know.
Regards Steve
