I updated the docs with two flags that are helpful for backing up to Storj: [Restic - Storj DCS Docs](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/backup-with-restic#ka01z) - `--pack-size=60` will set the pack size to 60 MiB, which is more optimal for Storj than the default 16 MiB. - `-o rclone.connections=1` will reduce the Rclone parallelism to single upload, which should help with unstable uploads in home environments. ---

I see that a new version of rclone with concurrent uploads for Storj [has been released today](https://rclone.org/changelog/): > storj: performance improvement for large file uploads > [storj.io/uplink](http://storj.io/uplink) v1.11.0 comes with an improved logic for uploading large > files where file segments are uploaded concurrently instead of serially. > This allows to fully utilize the network connection during the entire > upload process. > > This change enable the new upload logic. [commit](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/d63fcc6e44f3fb4a2ce9bb0b02983ea78af1e7ec) And Storj is now a Silver sponsor of rclone!
