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. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
