This had been the benefit of using InnoDB over MyISAM. However, at 12GB
RAM and 89000000 File entries (12GB file on disk) it became slow again
and I took the step to convert to PostgreSQL.
While I only gave 8GB of memory to PostgreSQL it is quite a bit faster
so far. A full backup that took <1day 1 month ago with less entries in the
database was up to >3 days on MySQL this month. With PostgreSQL it had
been down to <1day again.
The hardware is the same system with 16GB RAM it has been before, serving
as an iSCSI-storage for enhancing the bacula-sd residing on some other
box the same time. The import read the dump at a constant 2MB/s whicht I
regarded somewhat slow, but I think the 'constant' is the important part
here. I did the migration with Bacula manual and

Just to throw in some numbers that might help others.
