No need to try - just use it ;-) Spooling creates one big file which is written to tape in big chunks.
The last backup this morning put ~1.5 millions files with a speed of 500kb/s onto the tape, urgh.
I activated spooling and rerun the job now.
Spooling into that mentioned file runs with ~5MB/s at the moment.
I guess the backup of that big file onto tape wont be any slower than the usual 10MB/s.
Conclusion: Spool tiny files :)
Btw. whats the syntax for the "Maximum Spool Size" setting? I used "= 40G" to set it to 40gb, thats ok?
That's the way I do it.
I never tried to find out what happens if you set a spool size bigger than the space available (which _might_ happen with multiple jobs to different devices) or no spool size at all... I'm having enought trouble with my bacula playground already :-)
