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

I guess the easiest way would be to migrate your clients back to a single (new) director one by one. Takes longer, but should be more reliable than trying to merge several different catalogues back into a single instance. All the best, Uwe On 9 August 2018 at 17:03, Matthew Arguin wrote: >
