To the left ('Faster Network') to use less of your bandwidth and backup slower. To the right ('Faster Backups') to use more of your bandwidth and backup faster. All the way to the right to use all of your bandwidth, no matter how much you have.
- Internet Connection Running Very Slow-How To Bog Down Your Entire Office Internet With BackBlaze Backup I decided to try out a free trial of BackBlaze Backup, a cloud backup service for personal computers.
- My current solution: I made backblaze to back up only when I click back up now button. So at least my 80 GB of irreplaceable data is safe. My hope is that backblaze is able to update their software without requiring a restart of their software. Conclusion: As of 5/3/2009, BackBlaze is a highly unreliable cloud back up solution.
- I love Backblaze, but their confusing and weird policy re: switching machines made for a nail biting and slow, painful process. After reading this, I'm now considering alternative offsite backups. Truereligion on June 24, 2017.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Maybe this is not a problem but instead a SOLUTION to a problem: I was plagued by extremely low upload speeds (around 100 KB/s) for several years when syncing borgbackup repositories to Backblaze B2. My problems were previously described in the (now locked) forum thread here. The underlying cause was found to be lots of 503 errors being throws by Backblaze while Backblaze support assured me that everything is OK at their end. None of the proposed solutions (e.g. increasing the --transfers value) worked.
Recently I have found that simply adding the '--fast-list' option to rclone command increased my upload speeds from around 100 KB/s to at least 2 MB/s (sometimes up to 5 MB/s). That's at least 20x speed increase ant it's absolutely consistent (tried 5 times without the --fast-list option and 5 times with it). I don't know if this is a bug in rclone or at Backblaze's end but this info might help other afflicted users.
N.B: My borgbackup repositories consist of multiple long files (up to 500MB) and many more short 17 bytes files (for snapshots that did not change compared to the previous snapshot). The typical file composition of my borgbackup repository can be seen here.
