Extremly slow Backup

Post by isd17 »

When I try to make a backup of my Sharepoint-Site with 700 GB, the speed is extremly slow.
For 3 GB of data it takes more than 1 hour!
I cancelled the backup-task. When I retry to do a backup it was even more slow:

Pracessing rate: 756 KB/s
Read rate 144 Kb/s
Write rate: 25 KB/s

My internet-speed ist 250 mbits download and 50 mbits upload.

Downloading to your storage on premises?

All cloud providers limit the speed you can extract data from their platform. The initial backup will take a while and the the increments following on should be easier as they're much smaller.

I try to make a backup to a local disk with USB3.
With this speed the initial backup will last 235 hours!!!
That's not what I want.

@isd17 I'm afraid backing up to a local disk with USB3 is not supported. That will never make the necessary speed. In fact, even over SMB or lower-end NAS systems will be very slow I'm afraid.

So what would be the right way for a local backup, if USB3 disks and a NAS over SMB would not?

You can use local attached disks (direct in the server or via iSCSI for example) and object storage.
