Hi,
I’m currently testing Storj as a cloud target for my NAS backup.
During this test I transfered some GB into Storj and now wondering why the dashbord shows me 8GB upload and 75GB download. I started the backup job automatically to synchronize the data. Does the check if a file exists in Storj let the download count explode?

Depends on the tool. I am using duplicati and there is a flag to tell it to only check the file listing to verify the integrity of the backup. Without that flag duplicati would download and probe some files.

Thanks, I used the Asustor buildin Cloud-Storage app. Looks like the app do the download to compare.
I’ll looking into duplicati or another backup solution.
I am not an expert. There might be better tools out there. I think the tool that is most used is rclone and included in that might be some restic that calls rclone under the hood. Just to give you some alternatives. I stick with duplicati because it is enough for my simple backup job and I don’t have the need for a more specialized backup job.
