Re: How do I improve performance in Amanda?

But we are using hardware compression.  A majority of the filesystem, however, is nfs mounted.  Will that slow down the backups?

If you're using software/gzip compression, it slows it down below

Hello,

I am using amanda 2.4.4 and the amanda host (running RedHat 9) has a
gigabit connection to the network. Yet it seems to utilize only a
fraction of the available bandwidth.  How do I force it to run at
100%
capacity?  Here are the statistics from my last backup and below you
can
see my amanda.conf file.  Thanks in advance.
