Latest Syncback pro trial, very slow backup to Amazon drive

Post by telljcl »

I set up a simple mirror from local SSD to Amazon cloud account, and it looks like around 3-500 k/s is about average throughput.

This is for backing up tens of thousands of .jpg or .arw files, and this will take way too long - not viable.

Amazon's native Windows 10 app for backup to their servers is MUCH faster (although not configurable as a mirror).

Anything I should know?

Windows 10 64b, 20mbps upload connection, reading from a SSD local drive.

Thanks

Don't see that I can edit this post, but apparently this is "normal", based on the below link provided in another thread.

I failed to mention that the slow performance was on an original backup (no file version checking - just straight copy throughput, after all decisions as to what needs to be copied are made). The scanning is pretty slow also, but workable. It's the throughput that is unusable.

I'll try Dropbox....

Thanks
