I have 2 n36l hp microservers with 8gb ecc ram running FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35). One is on 24x7, the other is used to backup the first weekly using rsync. I have 3 zfs volumes. 4x3tb raid 0, 3x3tb raid 0, 1x2tb jail.

The network is gigabit between all devices on the network. I can send to freenas pools from a windows pc between 50-70mb/s and receive from freenas to windows pc's up to 90mb/s.

I do manual rsync weekly via the console shell or remotely. this is the script I use :
code:
#!/bin/sh
rsync -azv --progress --delete /mnt/Pool1/ root@192.168.1.5:/mnt/Pool2Backup/

speeds i see during this are very slow usually around 5mb/s max.

How do I improve rsync speeds ?

My second question is I have recently installed some jails/plugins to a dedicated 2tb zfs pool. How do I make a backup. Do I just rsync it like the other pools ?

thanks
