Add a Note about 'Packet Time' to the 'Backups' section in Docs

[michaelpope]

Hey,

This is just a suggestion for the docs, and I don't even think it's fully necessary to have, but I think it would help those who are getting started with Cloudron.

I think it could fit in the backups section perhaps right after concurrency, which also has to do with performance: https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#concurrency-settings

Anyways, if you think it would help, please mention:

• The completion speed for backups is dependent on your disk speed, network speed, concurrency settings, and the packet time between your Cloudron Server and the backup server/service (often related to the distance between them).

I just think it might help a bit to remind people that 8 ms ping will be many times better for a backup than 146 ms ping :).

Hope you are having a great day.

@michaelpope i think the better word here would be "latency".

Could do both.

I guess we want to mention the bandwidth which is probably more important than the initial latency?

[michaelpope]

@girish I think you are probably right.

I'll do some tests.

And tbh, I don't know if it's super essential to mention all this speed up stuff either. But it might help.

Hope you are having a great day.

@girish Did some testing. I think you are right. The distance is reducing the bandwidth I guess.
