@gallart Thanks for the report, we know there are a lot of things still missing, we'll work hard to make a release next week with most of them 😉

New report :

I have move one of my CR from "Classis backup" to "Backup-NG" :

1/ Speed seems slightly lower. At least as far as network graphs are concerned :

• Around 340Mbps constant transfert rate with classic. Unstable 240/280Mbps with NG.

2/ Backups are curiously using network traffic in both directions now. Between 20 and 40 Mbps trafic in the opposite direction of transfer.

Classic :

NG :

I'm not sure this is wanted/expected. Either if this is the right place to report such behaviour.

Can you give the 2 job detail via xo-cli so we can compare them and be sure it's apples to apples?
