2 days to back up to the cloud?
Hi all. First time poster.
I just installed Cyber Protect and I have a question about something that is happening that is baffling to me. I ran my first back up to an external SSD with no issues (50 gb) in about 20 minutes. I'm now trying to run a second back up to the cloud. It is saying the estimated time is two days. Does this sound right?? I really doubt that it will not err out during this amount of time. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Years back when I had a 100/2 Mbps cable connection, a backup of that size would take several days. I now have a 100/20 Mbps connection and that is much faster. However, the actual speed can be variable, for reasons I do not fully understand. As the number of backup slices increases, so does the backup time. [A backup slice is the data uploaded each time the backup runs - similar to an incremental backup for a local backup; the process is more complex as cloud backups, as I understand it, also involve deduplication).
