           Probably you have compression and/or encryption turned on. In
that case, Bacula cannot simply fseek to the offset. It has to
decompress and/or decrypt all data in order to find it, making restores
far slower than backups.
The compression and/or encryption is done within each block, so tnat doesn't
affect seek time.


Interesting. So after decompression and decryption, does the uncompressed/decrypted data contain a partial block(s), or are the compressed/encrypted blocks originally written with variable block sizes so that the original data is handled as fixed size blocks?
