November 1, 20241 yr I'm running Duplicati in a docker and wondering if it takes advantage of the AES-NI instruction set in the i5-6500T powering my unraid server. When doing encrypted backups using the AES256 (built in) option, CPU spikes a lot on all cores, leading me to believe that AES-NI is not utilized. If I run grep -o aes /proc/cpuinfo I get a response of aes aes aes aes indicating that all four cores support AES-NI lsmod | grep aes however returns aesni_intel 393216 0 crypto_simd 16384 1 aesni_intel leading me to believe that it is not activated ('0') Anyone have any insights?
November 1, 20241 yr Do you see the CPU spike only on the dashboard or also in htop? dashboard includes iowait so it's common for it to be high on io heavy operations like this even if the actual CPU usage isn't.

November 3, 20241 yr Author @Kilrah So, I set up two backup scenarios of the same folder with AES256 encryption - one using Duplicati and one using Cloudberry (now MSP360) and monitored in htop. Both have a bucket on Backblaze B2 as the destination. There's a definite difference in CPU usage. Edited November 3, 20241 yr by t33j4y
