mbuffer is a tool for buffering data streams with a large set of unique features: * direct support for TCP based network targets (IPv4 and IPv6) * ability to send to multiple targets in parallel (distribution mode) * support for multiple volumes * I/O rate limitation * high/low watermark based restart criteria * configurable buffer size * on the fly MD5 hash calculation * highly efficient, multi-threaded implementation It is especially useful, if you are writing backups to fast tape drives or libraries.

The mbuffer tool is used to buffer data streams and show the I/O rate
|
|
and summary to the user. It is especially useful for writing backups to
|
|
fast tape drives or streaming them over the network. If used correctly,
|
|
it can prevent buffer underruns and speed up the whole backup or
|
|
transfer process.
