Looks like I have about 4TB of local SAS drives to play with on my Dell 720. I was thinking of bumping up Maximum Spool Size x10 = 240GB And x10 the Maximum Job Spool Size to 80G. Based on this, it seems logical that Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3 (not 21 as in current config). Q: Does this sound

Is the MySQL database storage on the same RAID array you are writing backups to? Yes and no.  Currently, in our dev environment, they are both on the same physical RAID array, but Bacula operates in a separate jail from mySQL.  When we move to production, the director will probably run on

Compare against a stock, non tuned, Bacula install. Are you going between building where you get the slow transfer speed? UCSC has 1 Gb links between buildings from my recollection. The link to the outside world is not much more than that. Bacula also has a batch mode which you can twiddle
