Increase parallel connections

[chrisheib]

Hi and thanks for the great app!

I would love to increase the number of parallel connections to my webdav backup repo.

The restic docs say there is a command line option for this: https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/047_tuning_backup_parameters.html

How would I go about setting this up in backrest?

My repo is like this:

The restic conf talks about -c reponame.connections=5. Would this be -c hetzner-home-main.connections then?

You're on the right track here I believe, but I think the docs are actually talking about the backend type, in this case you're using rclone so I believe the right flag to set in your repo options would be.

-o rclone.connections=5

also qq: I'm seeing -o as the prefix rather than -c from your example, where did you get -c from? https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/047_tuning_backup_parameters.html#backend-connections

Thank you. It should apparently default to 5, so I set it to 10 to experiment a bit, but it doesn't seem to have any effects on the runtime of my backups. Those are probably gated by the read speed of my usb drives anyway, but I hoped to get an improvement either way.

Time is around 32 minutes for this incremental backup regardless of connection setting.
