I'm not much knowledge w.r.t. bacula performance (so take this w/a grain of salt) but am pretty experienced sysadmin and suspect it would be influenced by factors such as: 1) backup type, i.e. full, diff, or incremental. For example, I would expect full to be fastest because no need for any comparisons of files. 2) Since need to do sql inserts, etc, on a) how high zoot a machine you were using for db server duties. b) whether or not using dedicated database server. c) the db engine itself, i.e. MySQL vs. PostgreSQL (I've never been fan of SQLite). d) and possibly how well indexes are maintained. 3) disk type, i.e. SCSI vs. SATA and level of backup client concurrency And that is just off top of my head, for starters... Somethings for you to think about... If you want input for the bacula gurus here you may want to detail your specifics a bit more. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD "Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room." - Sir Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
