Hello,

It has nothing to do with Bacula having a problem, but is just math.

Having a PhD in math would help, but it really doesn't require that much 
schooling.  It is simple math of averages.  If you are driving 1000 miles and 
after 1 minute you stop for 10 minutes, your average speed drops to almost 
nothing, then gently climbs up to almost the average speed that you would 
have if you did not stop.

> Hi all,

> I am performing 2 Jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature at a 
> specific client.

> The first Job is a State Backup (Win32) of about 8GB.
> The Second is a Exchange Backup of about 32GB.
> The State and Exchange Backups are performed using 
> NTBackup on local an Bacula then grabs the completed BKF file.

> Both of these Jobs execute without a problem, but
> takes an incredibly log time to complete. (Reports Below)

> What I have noticed is that on a Backup Job where 
> ClientRunBefore is not used the job would start and run 
> at about 6MB/sec and keep the same performance all the 
> way through.

> But with the jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature
> the job starts at a few Kb/s and then gradually 
> (an increase in speed of about 30KB/sec)  builds 
> speed until about 6MB/sec.

> I am just curious to know if anyone else have experienced a 
> simmilar isssue or and if so, if there is a way around it?
