Please let me know if any load testing has been conducted. I intend to use it in a production environment with a full dataset of approximately 30 terabytes and daily incremental data of around 10 gigabytes. If such testing has taken place, could you kindly advise where I can find the test scripts, configurations, or related materials?

Hi @byron, welcome to the forum!
I think this size is a bit more than regular users have reported. The average size according to the [usage reporter](https://usage-reporter.duplicati.com) is around 200GiB (some overflows make the numbers unreliable).
One common setting is to increase the block-size, which means fewer blocks to keep track of, and generally faster speeds. For 30 TiB I would suggest 2-3MiB block-size, but it depends on your data.
You probably also want some larger compressed files, again to reduce the total number of files to handle. I suggest somewhere around 500MiB to 1GiB volumes.
See also the [general guide on size settings](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/choosing-sizes-in-duplicati/17683).
I am not aware of any test setups for datasets of this size. You can see the [comparison topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/big-comparison-borg-vs-restic-vs-arq-5-vs-duplicacy-vs-duplicati/9952) for an overview of what parameters are effective.
