Hi there! We are rolling out PBS across our systems to replace a commercial backup software and are loving it. Our setup is:
Both remote sites are connected to the datacentre with 1Gbps links. When synching to remote site 1, we get around 700-800mbit, as is expected once factoring in overhead and other network activity, however, remote site 2 doesn't seem to ever get much above 110mbit. Theoretically, both sites have the same setup, except the PBS version at remote site 2 is slightly newer.
We've done all the basic tests to ensure we haven't left something out. Here are the fio tests on the disks from Site 1 and Site 2.
Site 1:


Site 2:


Site 2 results are slightly slower - but we can attribute that to the sync that's running.
Speedtest results from the Site 2 PBS to the internet and then from the Site 2 router to the Datacentre router show no issues:


We have no limits or anything else set anywhere in PBS. Everything is unrestricted and the hardware at Site 1 and Site 2 are the same - the only notable difference is the PBS versions. If it's relevant, the PBS version at the datacentre is 4.0.15.
I can't think of any reason why we're seeing such a significant speed difference and how to fix it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

- HP Microserver at remote site 1
