By DR I mean Disaster Recovery (my office burns down and all is lost), so I’m recovering to a different machine. By Stage 4 I’m referring to my list of actions and No 4 the restore is very slow.
I’m using this command line to restore:
“C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Duplicati.CommandLine.exe” restore “E:\Snapshot\psdc1” --overwrite=true --restore-path=“C:\Restores\psdc1” --passphrase= >restore_psdc1.log
The log has no timestamp elements so it’s impossible to see where the delay is actually happpening. I know it takes ages before it writes any files. So I guess it’s slow evaluating the contents of the backup itself. But if it’s not a big backup and not bound by CPU or IO what is the blockage?
Is there somethig on the backup itself, perhaps using a different retention policy might help speed up the restore? Below is my Backup config:

I went into About Show log and this is all I get:
I’m deleting the Target directory before starting the restore so tere are no local files to read, I’m not sure about the no-local-blocks option, how do I set this on the command line and will it help?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

David
