mbuffer (a tool for buffering data streams)
|
|
|
|
mbuffer has a large set of unique features:
|
|
- direct support for TCP based network targets (IPv4 and IPv6)
|
|
- ability to send to multiple targets in parallel
|
|
- support for multiple volumes
|
|
- I/O rate limitation
|
|
- high/low watermark based restart criteria
|
|
- configurable buffer size
|
|
- on the fly MD5 hash calculation
|
|
|
|
It is especially useful, if you are writing backups to fast tape drives
|
|
or libraries. Those drives tend to stop and rewind if they have a buffer
|
|
underrun. This so called tape screwing reduces the lifetime of the
|
|
motors.
|
|
|
|
mbuffer can prevent buffer underruns, if used correctly and speed up
|
|
the whole backup process. Please read the man page for details, how to
|
|
use it.
