For 1TB it usually takes me about hour or so but theres many different factors that go into this and can differ
One hour from remote backup? Where are you based and where are your backups based? What kind of connection do you have between the two locations? 1 TB in one hour is amazing.
From server to server NL > Germany, minio s3 > prod server both push 10g with nvmes
That's awesome
Also to consider file amount; I tested a restore last night, from BorgBase EU, 70GiB but ~453.000 files, was 21 minutes (target was NVMe storage).
The last time I recovered from backup I was still on ADSL, it took me 2 days to download and restore 60 GB of MariaDB. Today the same data size would take me 1 day to download thru the home connection. There is no way I could restore 1 TB of data from remote backup.
Restore over the Internet?
1 day to restore 60 GB? ouch. What connection do you have?
Depends on the data / VMs, I use Proxmox Backup Server, PBS
All in all it should be done in around 2-3 hours, I have lot less than 500 GB in total of backed up data.
OTOH, for critical stuff I have 2 instances running, so that's something helpful too.
I recently backed up ~250 GB in one go (cloned/moved backup server), took an hour or 2, the reverse way should be pretty much the same if not even faster (my backup server is connected to 10G, while the others are mainly 1G / 2G)
LTE modem, the ISP is Poste Italiane SPA; the cell tower is 4 Km from the modem, but I'm in the countryside and the tower is almost on a line of sight.
Ouch, that must hurt
I didn't know Poste Italiane offered Internet services until my parents switched to them recently
mine from asia to eu storage was about 20 minutes for 50gb, but if you use borgbackup, the second time will be 6 mins
I like Borg, but switched back to Restic as it's consistently faster with both backups and restores for me
Last time I did restore, took me around a day for 3TB of data done with rsync. Location is from EU to CA.
Yes, from borgbase eu to vps in germany ( ~5ms ).
Sitting at my computer feels like having a pinkie on a light iron trigger that pops the guns out there in the cloud. No it doesn't hurt because I manage to make it work but I measure how pathetic this is.
If you have really important data , 1tb should be restored in one day will be fine. Most people only just backup personal daliy videos or something ,that don't need hurry.
