Hi!
I have read already all posts on slow backup, but it does not seem to be my case.
So when I’m doing image backup, it runs at about 180Mbps, but if I try to do file backup for the same volume on same server, the maximum speed is 17Mbps. I already tried to disable and even uninstall antivirus. No “background priority” set. No resources high usage. Disk queue on both server and client is below 0,1.
BUT the interesting fact is that if I split client into virtual clients and do backup of different folders on the volume at the same time, three simultaneous backups run at 17Mbps! What the heck?
have you unchecked setting Run backups with background priority on the clients under settings?
afaik it could cause especially windows running file.backups faster. but i’m not sure.
I was getting the same problem. But in KB, no even MB. Don’t know if this is the same situations as yours.
After digging, the LAN clients had the “internet server” checked. So for some reason they used the gateway and maybe through the WAN.
So I made a group for LAN clients, and remove the internet check from server in the group.
The speed increase immediately
Don’t rule out driver problems or Windows QoS settings, both frequently cause odd or inexplicable slowdowns, it’s worth experimenting with disabling QoS and any related driver settings.
Ok, so I think the difference is that the image upload sets the Windows TCP send buffer to 512KB and for local file backups it uses the default Windows send buffer (which is supposed to auto-tune itself). So it should be faster if you use the Internet mode locally.
See e.g. https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2018-07/0080.html for performance implications. So the solution may be to use the same round-about tuning as the curl fix.
Thank you! I disabled TCP autotuning and chimney on servers as it causes for some reason slow file transfer. servers. But I haven’t check winsock autotuning. It’s enabled. Shall I disable it? On client or server?
Thank you, Riccardo. It was not my case. But I even tried to enable internet client to see if the speed would be faster. It didn’t help and I switched back to local
After disabling QoS on client the maximum speed jumps up to 50Mbps! But it’s not stable. I’ll take a look for a couple of hours and see if it helped. Thanks!
I’ve been on vacation. So far on my return I can say that no progress in speed after disabling QoS. But I have a workaround:
4 simultaneous backups run at maximum speed of 20Mbps each and total time of backup is reduced 4 times (still too slow – 1 week instead of 2 weeks)
I cannot figure out whats is going on. The past week all was good and fast. Now I cannot got better then 10 kb/sec con remote backup. The lines are ok and 1 gb/s
but, little update. clarify me on this please.
Now, I see a backup in progress, with a speed of 230 kb/s (very slow for my standard), but if I take a look at the log, there is no such transfer. The program is hashing the files. They are a lot and small. Is it possible that speed is the reading speed of the disk while hashing?

I cannot ifgure out, I need some help. I don’t understand why, all of a sudden the speed drop like this.

Sorry, m8. I haven’t figure out what is the problem with speed. My backups are still slow. Hope to see improvements in
future updates.
Btw, check if new 0-day updates were installed. Kaspersky found vulnerabilities in graphics subsystem and Microsoft released
patch.

What do you mean? The client are for the most windows and the sserver is a virtual machine linux with an iSCSI attached.
The funny (not so funny) thing is that the installation of all urbackup system has 1 month, and until 3 days ago the speed was ok! I was very happy with this setup…but now this…all of a sudden :\
