Hi there,
I have a short question:
I am using OneDrive for Business plan for my backups. This is working really great. The speed is ok and it seems really good.
But as OneDrive does not allow much files in a single folder (and has a limitation), I turned on nesting. But as nesting uses more folders, the check command now takes about 2-3 hours for my 5TB archive (from personal internet connection with 32MB/s down and 5MB/s up). It seems like the iteration through the folders is taking the most.
Is there any possibility to speed things up during the check? The main reason is, that I am doing the backing in this order which means I am loosing 6-9hours for checks and about 30-60 minutes for the backup and prune process:
- Check
- All Backup plans
- Check
- Prune
- Check (i know this can be skipped)
I generated the storage inside OneDrive with this command:
duplicacy_win_x64_2.7.1.exe init -erasure-coding 5:2 -e -c 64M -min 32M -max 128M -storage-name QnapDuplicacy QnapDuplicacy odb://Duplicacy/QNAP
Nesting file:
{
“read-levels”: [2],
“write-level”: 2
}
About OneDrive:
Useful link with all information about illegal filename characters, max filename length, … can be found here (german): Ungültige Dateinamen und Dateitypen in OneDrive und SharePoint - Office-Support
Information about the file limit per folder cannot be found here, but I found some posts where people complain about a 20’000 files per folder limit.
