Hi,
I have Synology NAS in my network and I wanted to take a backup from my computer to that device. It is mapped as a network drive.
So I started the first set, 140GB. No encryption or compression. After 36h and 40 minutes, it had copied only 42GB.
This was way too slow, I would have never got the job done in time. I checked that in the FAQ (https://www.cobiansoft.com/cbfaq.html) there is:
Q: My network backup is extremely slow
A: Try disabling the "Copy timestamp", "Copy attributes" and "Copy NTFS permissions" options.
But I couldn't find these options anywhere.
I then switched to FBackup, and it has already copied 82GB in 2h50min, with default settings.
What could cause such drastic difference? What makes Cobian so much slower by default?
