    Duplicacy - Slow Upload

    Btw. I read some of the documentation and the threads does not have anything with the CPU. Its how many upload threads you allow. See: https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/backup-command-details/1077 

    The -limit-rate is the global upload speed for all threads in kB/s

    And according to this https://duplicacy.com/issue?id=5670666258874368 more threads on HDD's means more head seeking and slower uploads. So 1 thread is best for HDDS and multiple for SSDs but YMMV.. I don't use use duplicacy. 

     

    Thanks I had a read up last night after I kicked off the initial backup of the same information. Your right the threads are nothing to do with CPU, I found 8 threads to peak out around 6.5MB/s. I will try some testing but my 200GB backed up fine overnight so speeds are not really too bad for me it completed in around 8-9 hours. It would be nice to max out my Internet connection as I have 1Gb up/down fibre but hey it works I wont complain.

     

    Next test is to restore my data fully and compare. When I was attempting to restore even just a portion of my Duplicati data backup the damn restore kept failing so Cloud backup hasn't been great so far.

    Turns out it was super simple. Setup your storage, add a backup to the storage. Once the backup is created you can click the - under the Options column as highlighted below and enter the Command Options as per my image

     

    -threads 8 -limit-rate 8680

    After making this change I can now upload at around 5MB/s so over double what I was seeing before. I suspect the thread limit is CPU dependant so 8 is my limit speeds not to bad for 200GB I need to backup on initial seed. 

     

    Thanks all sorry for any trouble caused, seems it was simple in the end.

    There is no requirement that the support thread be hosted here and cannot be pointed at the app's own thread.   Probably the majority of questions regarding any given app aren't actually applicable to the unRaid installation, but are rather application specific questions.  On the face of it based upon the title of this thread (Slow Uploads), I'd call that app specific.

     

    But that is rather immaterial as it is semantics.  

     

    Personally, I'd love for every single app to have a dedicated support thread per app.  In practice, its not going to happen.

     

    Where and how the support threads are hosted and what I am able to discern about any given support level does however highly impact any moderation that may (or may not) one day be required on.

     

     

     

    What I think happened is I am so used to the docker templates having support threads.  When I downloaded Duplicacy (recommended by a lot of UnRaid users) I was confused to see no support link just a link to the Duplicacy forums. As far as I can tell the support threads for most templates are rife with support questions, a lot of those probably are not related to the template.

    Over and over we tell people to click on the support link in the container instead of posting questions to the general forum, but there isn't an unraid support thread linked to the template in question.

     

    Inconsistency causes frustration.

     

    Exactly that I clicked the support thread and went over to the Duplicacy forums. I can't thank the contributors to templates enough and have donated to a few for a couple beers! I guess I have been spoilt with the helpful people on this forum, I wanted to avoid asking questions elsewhere but seems like I am in the wrong if its app specific. One of the reasons I have also stuck with UnRaid as the forums are active and informative.

    You don't think that the war on that is already lost?

     

    To be honest that's the same with the General forum for forums across the web :-).

    Reading the documentation for Duplicacy, makes me believe the option box appears for that backup after the initial setup of it. 

    Seems you are right I think I have found the 'options' I am looking for if only I had read the support documentation properly. I will try tonight, I find the Duplicacy GUI to be a little odd some of the functions are not that apparent on first glimpse.

    The following Backup page shows the new backup just added. You can click the Include/Exclude column to specify which files will be included in or excluded from the backup, and the Options column to specify extra options for the backup operation.

    0 help in that thread I hit a brick wall for asking that question.

    In all honesty I misread your reply when you said 'Then use this post.' I thought you was referring to the Duplicacy forums so sorry for that.

    and better than a stale forumpost. 

    I have to disagree here, I have got very good information from the support threads of Plugins/Templates/Dockers on these forums. I guess my question is not related to the template and is in fact the functionality of the app.

    I take this post as feedback enough to be willing to create one, however I still cant guarantee app-support from me personally. 

    I didn't think this post would spiral as it has and my question probably would not fit into that support thread :-)… 

     

     

    Edit: All in all.. I have got some responses to my thread but not the ones I expected haha.. What's a Monday without a good debate right?

    Unfortunately that's one of the stark differences between the publishers of templates in the Unraid app ecosystem. Some are way more helpful than others. I find LSIO and binhex to be very responsive to their users.

     

    Thanks anyways jonathanm. I think I know the solution to the problem but I will need to investigate how I implement it tonight, I'll report back on this thread. Duplicacy seems like a great tool, relatively simple gui and tbh I could probably get over the slow upload once the bulk of my backup is completed. Nice to push some more speed though if its possible!

    So I am trialling out Duplicacy to replace Duplicati as I have found it to be a pain. One thing I have noticed though is my upload speeds to Google Drive are like 2.5MB/s. its possibly to hopefully increase this by setting some options within Duplicacy. 

     

    Does anyone know how to set these options I can't find where to input it as described in this thread on the Duplicacy forums -

    https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/unraid-speed-drop-off/3221/2

     

    Also why is there no support thread for the Duplicacy docker?


    Thanks

    When I did my last unRAID build as my case had limited space it was a nightmare to use normal SATA Cables. I purchased some ultra-thin SATA cables like the below and have not had a single issue or error reported from any of my disks. Also made cabling much easier and saved space:

    Unfortunately the brand I purchased is no longer available on Amazon but reviews for this one seem fine :-)

    this is of great interest to me, as i wasnt aware of issues with other docker images, in that case it does indeed point to an issue somewhere with the way nzbget is post processing, or using the tools you mentioned in order to do par repairs and/or unpacking. 

     

    what would be good is some sort of coordinated issue raised for this (including other docker developers) as i think the nzbget devs are under the impression that everything is hunky dorey with the post processing functionality in nzbget. i can certainly attempt to re-open the existing issue that is on their board, but i currently have no idea what i can try to fix it, and if the issue is indeed buried away somewhere in nzbget source then i have little chance of identifying it :-( - its frustrating thats for sure!.

     

    thanks for the detailed reply btw @AgentXXL 

     

    Hey binhex,

     

    Did you manage to re-open the issue for this on nzbget's board? I'm assuming it was on github, I am happy to contribute what I can and I'm guessing others are in this thread.

     

    Thanks
