Cloud Backup Slow
Hi,
My cloud backup is going very slow.
Acronis support has told me the reason for the slow backup to the cloud is due to a bad sector on my internal SSD.
Can someone please help me understand in detail why a bad sector on my internal SSD is causing the cloud backup to be slow.
From my simple understanding of the backup process: Acronis should be reading the backup data from the external hard drive, putting it into memory, and then sending it out over my WiFi to Acronis cloud storage.
During that process is Acronis writing\reading to my internal SSD?
My Windows 10 system is running. I can boot, run any program, Word, Access, Oracle Virtual Box. That says to me the internal SSD is working just fine and Windows is able to work around the bad sector.
The one problem though is that WMI Provider is using a lot of CPU 10%-20%. I don't know if WMI Provider is impacting Acronis backup. I've been trying to diagnose what is causing WMI Provider to use a lot of CPU.
The internal SSD is 2 TB.
The external hard drive is 5 TB.
I have 64 GB RAM.
I'm using WiFi 5 G.
I've run SpeedTest which shows 253 Mbps upload speed and 40 Mbps upload speed.
I've run CHKDSK several times and SFC /SCANNOW.
The cloud backup still runs slowly after running those two programs.
