Slow backup speed

Thread needs solution

I have a WD MyCloud Ex2 8TB configured as a 4TB raid array. I'm trying to back up my 1.7TB of photos from my Win 10 PC to this drive with Acronis 2016 across my 1Gig network. Two days in it has backed up 150GB abd is saying that it will take another 27 days to complete.  I had this problem with the WD Mycloud software but rather hoped Acronis would be faster. Any suggestions?

If you have other devices connected to your network and they are not gigabit capable or operating at a slower speed such as 10/100 that connection will slow all others to the slower speed dispite the fact the network itself is capable of more.   Generally the traffic indicator lights on modems, routers, and switches can help determine slower connections. Those lights displaying all green lights should indicate a good gigabit connection, amber lights indicate a degraded connection which again will affect all other connections.

If you can connect your device via USB you might give that a try.
