@musicmatze Sounds like an educated guess🤣
BorgBackupborgbackup@fosstodon.orgOct 14, 2026, 1:48 PM@atomfrede @musicmatze I'ld guess "it depends".
If you are lucky, 2.5x, sure.
But if there are lots of little files or the data source is somehow slow otherwise, it could be less, not sure whether borg 1.x is able to saturate these connections then.
For borg2, we work on making the speed less dependent on latency and it recently got a "hash and upload" extra thread. 🚀
