I can’t believe what I am seeing. I am backing up around a TB of mixed data (documents, source code, photos, books, and more) and it’s maxing out my Gigabit connection at 90-120 MB/sec. How is it possible for kopia to be so much faster than pretty much any other backup tool I have tried/used (and that’s many!)?
I am really shocked. How has been reliability with restores for others?
Yeah - Kopia is by far the fasted backup tool I’ve ever used. It’s technology is stable, however you’ll have to make sure, that the underlying hardware runs flawlessly - as you’d have to with any other backup solution as well.
I have been using Kopia at work for cross-server deduplication, which requires one big repository. Our biggest one currently sports 98 TB of deduped data from the last 3 or 4 years.
Kopia has its shortcomings when it comes to user management and UI clients, but as a backup/archiving solution I’d totally recommend Kopia.
Wow that’s quite a large backup. Have you ever had any issues with restores?
We’re running quartely automated restore tests and none of those failed for the last 2 1/2 years.
As everyone should. Restore-tests are crucial.
