How much time does the backups usually complete?

It depends on 3 factors:

  • Server performance
  • Client data
  • In case remote backups Upload / Download speed target / your own server

For example: 50GB Client (Large / A lot of video’s)

2024-04-04 05:14:36 Remote: sftp://xxxxx.your-storagebox.de//happyclient.2024-04-04_05-14-36.tar
2024-04-04 05:14:37 Rotated sftp backup: 2024-03-26_05-14-31
2024-04-04 05:14:39 Uploading happyclient.2024-04-04_05-14-36.tar
2024-04-04 05:41:11 Size: 47359 MB
2024-04-04 05:41:11 Runtime: 4 minutes

So 4 minutes for the backup and 30 min upload

Example 2:

2024-04-04 05:42:25 Remote: sftp://xxxx.your-storagebox.de//happyclient2.2024-04-04_05-42-25.tar
2024-04-04 05:42:26 Rotated sftp backup: 2024-03-26_05-42-27
2024-04-04 05:42:27 Uploading happyclient2.2024-04-04_05-42-25.tar
2024-04-04 05:46:47 Size: 8242 MB
2024-04-04 05:46:47 Runtime: 1 minute

8 Gb = 1 min runtime + 4 min to upload

Server is an Dedicated server with: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2336 CPU @ 2.90GHz

Please note I use storage box with Hetzner they are know for not the fastest upload but it doesn’t matter for me…
