My clients have common sata disks, what I understood of spooling is that the clients writes the backups to their disks first and then send to the sd right? My sd is an HP San Storage with SAS disks using raid 6. Can I have increased performance in this scenario if I enable spooling? The spool

There is almost certainly no point in using spooling with disk-file media. Well, with multiple concurrent jobs enabling data spooling does guarantee that jobs are written to the volume sequentially instead of being interleaved. It also avoids wasting space in the backup volumes if a
