That picture is very "busy", but you should see a bunch of things called bztrans_thread uploading and EXACTLY ONE bztransmit process which is coordinating the backup as the main command thread. You can watch "Activity Monitor" on the mac, or "Task Manager" on Windows, and here is a screenshot what you should see for the bandwidth being used to upload: Oh, after changing the setting in #1 above you might want to do the thing once to make sure it picks up the new settings. Like turn off all power savings modes so your computer doesn't go to sleep. But Backblaze loses a little progress each time you click so try not to play with it or pause it more than once every 4 hours, and make sure it runs all night long while you are asleep. It is TOTALLY FINE once every 4 hours to click once (don't double click it or anything) and let it settle for 15 seconds, then click once and have it progress forward again. ![]() If you happen to have 32 GBytes of RAM feel free to set it to 100 threads, it probably won't hurt anything except RAM use.Ģ) Avoid pausing the backup too often. The only reason NOT to use more threads is if you are limited on RAM, so a computer with 8 GBytes of RAM should maybe limit it to 25 threads or less, but if you have 16 GBytes of RAM you will be totally fine with 50 threads. Here are two pieces of advice:ġ) Go into the "Settings." and find the Performance tab and don't do automatic throttling, change it to use "At Most 50 threads". Backblaze backs up in file size order, small files first. The second half should go faster than the first half. Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze and wrote a lot of the code that uploads files. ![]()
