Hi all,
I’m new to Duplicati and to backup in general. Due to ransomware infection last summer which caused real disaster (over 2 TB home photos and videos lost), I begun to look for a solution… and finally found Duplicati a few days ago. I began to test it : it works flawlessly !
Then the first thing is a very big thanks to the developpers who give time for stupid users like me !
I’m using sharepoint libraries to save data. For some reasons I don’t know, I can’t connect to my account with Duplicati with the sharepoint v2 feature, it works fine with the basic feature.
I find that initial backups take a very large amount of time : speed is only about 5 MB/s and my internet bandwidth allows much more. Speed doesn’t seem to be limited by processor speed (the same with a 10 years old intel quad core ad with a quite new i7 processor. The sharepoint host seems to accept much faster connections, as I get the same speed on each computer when backing up two different machines simultaneously.
First question : is there a way to optimise upload speed ?
Second, I saved my backup tasks in files. What if I use them on another computer ? Or on the same conputer after reinstalling OS due to crash ? I guess I should change path letters of source folders when changing computer… Is that all the changes that need to be done ?
Thanks again for this great software and for taking time to answer such newbie questions.
Jean-Christophe
PS : I’m using Duplicati 2.0.4.5_beta_2018-11-28
