Hi, I'm still using bacula 1.38.5.
To prevent shoe shining (writing, rewinding, writing again) with a tape drive bacula uses spooling. When using spooling, the data is first spooled to local disk file, then it is written to tape (despooling). When there is more data to backup then the maximum spool file size, this process is repeated as many times as needed. The spooling to the file and the writing to tape is not concurrent. Is there a reason for this? Has this changed in later versions? Are there any changes to be expected in this? I'm asking this because backups without spooling are faster than those with spooling. Is this normal? -- Best regards, marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
