This section describes the best practices for your backup client application.

2.14 Size of your backup source

The total number of files selected as backup source and the relative size of each file impacts backup performance.

Fastest backups occur when the source contains fewer large size files, while slowest backups occur when the source contains millions of small files.





For backup set with huge amount of files, please consider splitting the set into multiple sets with smaller source to improve the speed of the backup operation.
