Dumb question about multiple remotes
-
Many of my backups are set to go to multiple remotes.When the backup finishes, the status shows up and that they finished at the same time.
One is a faster backup device than the other so how does it work? Does it write parallel data/blocks/etc to one share and then wait for the other to share catch up or is it some other machination?
Just curious.

Hi,
It's using Node streams, so basically the overall backup process is going at the speed of the slowest remote (thanks to back pressure). Otherwise, it means we would have to store the data in XO memory for example, which isn't really possible for a backup, due to its size.

Very cool...thanks for the explanation (but I'll admit I had to google "Node streams")! -
