That's cool, I'll work on it. The NAS is fairly big, so I'm thinking if I turn compression completely off it should improve backup times. At the moment it's set to 3, but I don't really need the compression so I might just turn it off... Stephen On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 10:56 PM, Les Mikesell <[EMA

Hmm yeah I've a bit of a play with the nfs client side, the nfs server is purely web based, so it's limited to what I can play with. What about the network side of things, with data coming in and back out on the same interface? On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 11:23 AM, Adam Goryachev < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>

2008-09-01 Thread Stephen Vaughan
Hi, We have backuppc running on a server, with an NFS mount to a NAS device. Everything is gigabit, there is only 1 nic in the backuppc server connected to the switch, so traffic comes in from the servers we're backing up and then straight back out the same nic to the NFS mount. I'm finding signi
