Taking an enourmous of time to backup
I am using the Pika from AUR, version 0.6.1. I use XFCE plus Arch. I am backing up to an sftp source, encrypted. This is my first backup so I expect it to take long but....
It takes an enormous amount of time to backup, especially large files. Can take up to 1-2 hours for a 4GB file. Trying with DejaDup, encrypted, it takes 10 times less to backup the same folder, to the same sftp source.
I need to backup around 2TB of files and so far, for 20 or so hours, only backed-up 30-40 GB. I have done backups before with say Vorta to Borg and took a lot less.
So, is there something I can do to make it speedier or is this an issue/bug with certain systems?
I apologize if this is not the place to post about this, but it seems to me like it is taking an enourmous amount of time to backup.
