[Bug 2121282] Re: Recovery process extremely slow

 

It might be normal indeed, it’s been such a long time I dug into the
mechanics of how duplicity restores files. It keeps files as individual
chunks and combines them during restore, so that sounds reasonable.

That also means it can be slow depending on how many volumes the files
pieces were spread among. It might have to download a bunch and apply
the pieces together.

The version you are using actually uses a different backend tool than
duplicity when you make a new backup into a fresh folder - it uses
Restic. I’d be curious if you tested that out and found it to be any
faster during restores.

Title:
  Recovery process extremely slow

Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a problem where restoring a backup of 5 files totaling 1 MB
  takes over 20 minutes. In addition, the restored files are first
  displayed as folders and then converted into a file. Is this normal?

  Is there any way I can speed up the process?
