483749 minutes by my math, or just under a year.

(the gory part is that the source drive is only 256GB with 10% used)

    Good god, that’s huge. You need to find a backup solution that dedups.

    I keep 40 versions of each of my dozens of proxmox guest VMs, and it doesn’t use 10% of that much space, including a virtualized NAS. I think it has a dedup ratio of 30x.

      I’m realizing reading the comments that not everyone noticed the description. While I easily have over 100TB on other systems, the gory part here is that the source drive is just a small laptop SSD with maybe 25GB used. Duplicati is buggy, that’s all.

    Checkout Kopia…

    Duplicati is really nice in many ways but when it comes to restore time it takes forever. If you ever need to actually use this backup Duplicati will definitely fail you.

    I’m not saying Kopia won’t, but I think it’s got a way better chance of working in a timely fashion.


    Edit: Just noticed where I am and the post body. Yeah, duplicati unfortunately isn’t in a great maintenance state and has bugs and performance issues despite otherwise being a nice user experience.

    Duplicati is kinda terrible. I used it for about two years as my main backup, it was very unreliable and slow
