Hmm... Could be, but why would the bacula 1.37.32 client transfer over 10Mbytes/sec on the same host to the same storage daemon running 1.38.8 on a Solaris 9 server? No other changes except for the client daemon. Win2000 with 1.38.[8|9] --> Solaris 9 with bacula 1.38.8 = 174Kbytes/sec Same Win2000 box with 1.37.32 --> Solaris 9 w/ bacula 1.38.8 = 16Mbytes/sec And the network between is a gig Ethernet dedicated to SAN and backups. I have ran several tests with two different servers one was a Win 2000 Server with up to date patches and the second was a Win 2003 Server with up to date patches. And I saw the same performance 1.37.32 client gave acceptable performance of 7 to 16Mbytes/sec while the 1.38.[8|9] client always ran sub 200Kbytes/sec. > The really strange part is I can't seem to get local backups above about > 7-8 > MB/s.
