Hi folks, I tried the new "stop / resume" functions on our bacula server for the first time today (7.4.4 / MariaDB / CentOS6 compiled from source). While stop seemed to work ok and left the job in an "incomplete" state after finishing the "spooling attributes" bit, "resume" just sat there for an

Are you seeing any high loads on the server while pruning job is running? It looks like the pruning job is stuck in some sort of loop. Given your machine specs, db backend and catalog size the job should be through in an instant. If you're feeling adventurous you could also try mannually purging

Re: [Bacula-users] very slow backups, around 5mb/sec

I think the sqlite backend and the large number of small files are most likely slowing you down. Isn't sqlite explicitly *not* recommended for production use in the bacula docs? Also, using compression won't help with raw backup speed unless you switch to LZO which enables near disk-speed reads
