RALUS performance

It sounds like you back up a mixed bag of file types, just like we do, small files, image files, wav, all sorts.

Are you backing via Samba shares?
Have tweaked NFS at all?
I remember doing quite a few tweaks, I added "no_subtree_check" to "exports", and block size of 32768 for rsize and wsize for NFS client.
It took me an age to get Ralus/BEWS working as I would like, and IMHO Symantec/BEWS etc works fine on Windows, but with Linux, well it just never seems to sit comfortably (look at the new questions for the lastest products!) and I wouldn't go down that route again.
With one server I added up creating cronjob to copy files, works great, small amount of data though.
