My backup created from the UI (on windows if it matters) is getting bogged down by the single thread and tiny files. I’ve been unable to figure out how to pass the --parallel command to snapshots/schedules created and run from the UI. Thanks for any help and the wonderful tool!
run cmd or ps, then type kopia --help-long (you can redirect it to a file for easy read/search) there you can find all (almost) options, including kopia snapshot create --parallel=N /source
Afaik, there’s no option to set the number of parallel threads when running a snapshot from KopiaUI. You can only set the parameter --parallel=N when running kopia snapshot from the CLI.
Continuing the discussion from Passing cli arguments to the UI? --parallel?:
I know this is an old thread but… still important, mostly nowadays when there are a lot of files. I know we can resort to the CLI but just getting into the browser and looking through it is way easier to spot if a snapshot is going on and a lot more.
So, and I am sorry that I don’t know how to do it, would it be hard to have this “–parallel” option set and used as a policy?
