[Bacula-users] bacula lto-2 drive performance?

It was suggested that perhaps my 50 GB/hr data rate was due to the client maxing out around that rate. I believe I have verified this. Previously I had been used to seeing much higher rates on another backup system, but I was only backing up servers using high performance SCSI disks, RAIDed
