Understanding factors that affect bucket download rate

[Alexey]

Hello @Curmudgeon1,
Welcome back!

@Roxor is correct.
So, you may also consider to use other backup tools, which doesn’t download much (only the index with hashes) when they do a snapshot, like restic or Duplicacy or HashBackup and similar.

Please note, Kopia has issues with their implementation, because they uses the prefixes without a ending delimiter and this could produce errors when the number of objects will grow up to 100k and you use the paths encryption (it’s by default), but you may bypass that flaw in their implementation by:

@arrogantrabbit

Some other backup tools, like duplicacy, support native storj endpoint. Kopia does not. But Kopia supports rclone connection, which, in turn, supports storj natively.

So, you can connect rclone to storj, and Kopia to rclone, and thus bypass S3 gateway entirely.

Kopia lists objects using arbitrary prefixes which don’t mix well with storj’s encrypted object keys. To prevent the too many items error you can disable object key encryption Enabling Lexicographic Sorting of Object Listings - Storj Docs. Unfortunately I think you’d need to create a fresh bucket and re-upload your repository using the new credentials.
