can the repo synchronization progress be fixed?

[pesos]

Feature Request:
We had to synchronize repos and when you start the process, it begins at 55% (interesting place to start!) and then relatively quickly makes it way up to 98%... and then it sits there at 98% for hours until completing. Can this be fixed so that the progress indicator actually indicates progress?

Hi John,

I don't think there's any issue with progress calculation. As you noticed, synchronization is a quite fast process and in some cases it takes longer to display the progress than to make it.
If a process is unexpectedly stuck, please open a support case and let our engineering investigate the root case.

Thanks!

Hi Polina, either I wrote this very poorly (completely possible lol) or you read it completely wrong...

Maybe I didn't make clear that the synchronization process is taking HOURS for larger repos. It's sitting for HOURS at 98%. Then it finally completes.

Process starts - no matter the size of the repo, it gets to 98% very quickly (within a minute regardless of repo size - few hundred gigs or a dozen terabytes - doesn't matter). Then it sits at 98% for an INCREDIBLY long time. Obviously smaller repos finish sooner and larger ones take hours. But no matter what, the indicator sits at 98% right until the end, so it's completely useless.

Thanks for elaborating - it just means I got it right )
Please open a support case to invesitage those stucks at 98% - that's not expected and I'd like our engineering to check if there's something that needs to be fixed or optimized.

I've also observed that, the percentage is not linear, same behaviour for a 1TB repo or for a 50TB repo, seems sort of stuck at the end but isn't. Total time does vary with size though but I also have a feeling that the number of object in the repo also is a factor, not just size. It could be that the percentage is not showing progress within a single task but that it is actually doing tens of steps and the first few are very fast, hence you sort of experience it starts at 55% (all done with a second) and that unfortionately one of the last steps at 98% is a very time consuming step.
But then again, this is all speculation. But whatever the cause, more visual feedback would be nice.

Same here, just a small Immutable Wasabi Repository with about 6TB, from 0 to 98% in about 30 seconds, after that "stuck" at 98%, currently waiting to complete.

Clearly an issue but apparently not even a low priority for Veeam. Plenty of more egregious flaws to fix so oh well.
