The bacula-fd process on Server2 is using at most about 2%. Mem usage is very low (3Mb). Nothing else is using the processor or disks intensively on that machine at the moment and bconsole is reporting about 3MB/sec transfer (speed changes wildly it seems, but never very fast!) The bacula server is running around 5-15% for bacula-sd. Again, nothing much else is happening on that server, load average: 0.21, 0.12, 0.09. Is there any profiling I can run on the Windows FD client, or at least see a file-by-file progress? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
