Does this mean software compression limits deeply backup speed ? In my case, software compression was a _massive_ slowdown, to the point that my preference was to throw more disk space to bacula to keep my jobs completing in a reasonable time. This was backing up a server with a couple hundred gigs of large files, not tons of small files. Try your job without compression enabled at least once, to get yourself a good comparison. Mark Turning compression off on disk backup definitely improve the performance. I was at 17MB/s and now i am at 30 MB/s.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula bandwith usage
I tried to enable spooling (500 Gb spool) for the tape backup. The perf were worse. BTW, I use 5GB spool. I assume then you do not run concurrent jobs? For a single job the time will be longer because bacula does not concurrently spool and despool but with concurrent jobs and spooling with a few GB spool size bacula will maximize the performance of the tape drive when spooling is enabled. I get despool rates of 20 to 50MB/s for LTO2 which is about what the tape drive can handle. The rates vary because of compression. For disk backup, it seems to me spooling does not make sense. Attribute spooling makes sense for either though. -- John M.

I just ended my bacula configuration and just launched my first remote job. I have this in the report JobId 3: Job write elapsed time = 00:14:23, Transfer rate = 1.182 M Bytes/second which seems a little poor to me (our network is currently on a 100M switch, we're planning to upgrade with something better in the near future). Currently data flows from bacula-fd on client to bacula-sd on bacula server and then the storage daemon writes data on a volume mounted in an nfs partition, so data goes on the wire at the same time. Is advisable to enable data spooling in the storage daemon in this situation? I made a try with this results JobId 7: Spooling data ... JobId 7: Job write elapsed time = 00:13:07, Transfer rate = 1.295 M Bytes/second JobId 7: Committing spooled data to Volume FullVolume-0004. Despooling 1,021,072,888 bytes ...

There is only a little improvement of performances. So I'm asking you what is the transfer rate in your jobs? These rates are normal or are they slow compared to yours? Is there any way you can run your SD directly on the storage device, instead of the SD writing to storage mounted over NFS? Also, what about using a dedicated NIC to link SD with NFS storage ? That would avoid sharing bandwidth between nfs-traffic and client to storage daemon traffic.

[Bacula-users] Bacula restore to Windows 2008 R2
Greetings.. I had occasion today to do a restore to a Windows 2008 R2 server with Bacula.. everything went fine, except for some minor confusion because the restored c:/restore/c folder was created with the hidden and system attributes.. Obviously I normally have my explorer shell set so I can see hidden and system files, but on this particular box I didn't and it ended up stumping me for a few minutes.. So I guess my question is whether there is a good reason that the c folder ends up restored with hidden system attributes, and whether there is anything I can do about that? If not I'll just document it as part of our restore procedures, but I wanted to make sure there isn't a setting somewhere that I'm missing that would make peoples lives easier.. Thanks!

You should really be comparing the server password with the one in the Bacula program directory (e.g. C:\program files\bacula\bacula-fd.conf). EMB Ewan, There are two things I did wrong. I couldn't find my saved copy of winbacula so I downloaded a copy from the net. I need to use the same vesion as my bacula server. The second is looking at the properties for the service and seeing where the bacula-fd.conf file is read from. My setup has that file in the directory C:\Program Files\Bacula directory and not in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula. Making those two changes work.ed Thanks.

Hi, Here you have SQL function for PostgreSQL (I took it from bweb): CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql; BEGIN; CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION base64_decode_lstat(int4, varchar) RETURNS int8 AS $$ DECLARE val int8; b64 varchar(64); size varchar(64); i int; BEGIN size := split_part($2, ' ', $1); b64 := 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/'; val := 0; FOR i IN 1..length(size) LOOP val := val + (strpos(b64, substr(size, i, 1))-1) * (64^(length(size)-i)); END LOOP; RETURN val; END; $$ language 'plpgsql'; COMMIT; and this is a query which lists file path, filename and size in Bytes (in this example for jobid=8): SELECT Path.Path, Filename.Name, base64_decode_lstat(8,File.LStat) AS size FROM Filename, File, Path WHERE File.JobId=8 AND File.PathId=Path.PathId AND Filename.FilenameId=File.FilenameId ORDER BY size ASC; I tested it.
