I updated the docs with two flags that are helpful for backing up to Storj: Restic - Storj DCS Docs

  • --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:

storj: performance improvement for large file uploads
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.

And Storj is now a Silver sponsor of rclone!
