Question
I need to know how long it will take a backup to complete.
Environment
OnApp Cloud (All Versions)
Answer
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to estimate that, as it depends on the number of factors: speed of the network to the point where the backup is to be stored, speed of I/O on the Backup server and on the SAN, the CPU load at the server, where the backup is being taken, the size of the disk, usage and size/type of the files being backed up. Therefore, there is no reliable way to estimate the time of backup completion.
