Testing the backups was one of the things that sent me on a couple
week workout with bacula trying to understand why it took so long
to restore. We found out the original configuration would have taken
around 14 hours to restore our 140 gigs or so of data. Decided that
wasn't acceptable, and found performance tweaks in our install to
get it down in the 3 hour range. This was much more acceptable.
