Very Slow Restore from Acronis Cloud Storage

Thread needs solution

I have seen a number of articles on this topic but now solution.

I am attempting a bare metal restore of my Windows 2019 server. I am using WinPE based bootable media. I have about 160 Mb/s available bandwidth, up and down, as verified by speed test. But the restore process uses only 20-35 Mb/s. 

I have been in communication with support who say that it should be faster. Yet I see articles on this forum verifying the slow performance, and even implications that we should not expect better.

I simply do not understand why such limited data rate seems to be the accepted in this day and age.  Is there any plan to fix it?

Scott, I have no direct experience of doing any Cloud restore as decided a long time back that this is not for me as I have both local backups and NAS that give me far superior speeds!

I would suspect that the combination of using WinPE bootable media and doing a bare-metal restore contribute to the slow recovery speed / progress.  There is a lot of data to be transferred alongside limited caching and processing of that data as the base structures for partitions etc are re-established.

I further suspect that Acronis True Image users are the poor relation when it comes to server access speeds as compared with business subscribers to the premium Acronis Backup and Cyber Protect versions of applications.

@Steve Smith's speculation about ATI having lower priority than some other (more expensive) Acronis products.

The speed of any bear metal recovery will be slowed down by the number of backup slices that have to be accessed. As far as I can workout Cloud backups work as if there is one full backup and a large number of incremental backups, which means there is an amount chopping and changing in recovering a disk, given the sector based backup technology being used.
