I assume then you do not run concurrent jobs? For a single job the time will be longer because bacula does not concurrently spool and despool but with concurrent jobs and spooling with a few GB spool size bacula will maximize the performance of the tape drive when spooling is enabled. I get despool rates of 20 to 50MB/s for LTO2 which is about what the tape drive can handle. The rates vary because of compression. > > For disk backup, it seems to me spooling does not make sense. Attribute spooling makes sense for either though. -- John M.
