@d19dotca said in iDrive E2 Backups Failing More Frequently:
What I had to do was delete the region hostname and re-enable it, which created my backup buckets somewhere else and allowed me to proceed without issue. The unfortunate part of this though was that it deletes all the files of course in the prior region, so what I did was first download a few important backups from it to my local disk and reloaded afterwards.
I had the same rate-limiting issue with IDrive E2, but with a twist: my bucket was originally blazing fast in one region. After I deleted and recreated it (like you did), it became painfully slow—the exact opposite of your experience!
I suspect their ‘region reassignment’ doesn’t guarantee consistent performance, maybe due to uneven server loads or hidden throttling.
Moral of the story? With IDrive E2, if your bucket works fine, don’t touch it—even if they tempt you with ‘better regions.’
