<![CDATA[Backup to local CIFS Share]]>Hi there,

now I'm using Immich for all my devices and after transferring all media there will be around 200GB of data. Backup to Hetzner CIFS Share is not a option for me, because my upload speed is only 50MBit/s.

So I mounted a CIFS Share which is hosted on my local QNAP, so Cloudron and QNAP are within my local 1GBit/s LAN.

My issue is now, backup are running faster, but only with:

Uploading backup 2182M@26MBps

Why is Cloudron not using full speed?

Thank you and Regards
Lukas

But something or the other always comes up in the middle!

We wanted 8.0 to be the backups focused release. But something or the other always comes up in the middle!

If you are backing up as tgz, only one file is being transferred because that's how the format works (it's a stream of files one after another). In case of rsync format, this is governed by the concurrency of file transfer.

In addition to this, our code is not optimized for the fastest transfer. It's only optimized to transfer files reliably and for correctness. We have seen backups mostly as a "background task" that should not interfere with a working server. I am sure we can optimize a lot, but we haven't paid much attention to this.
