Comment on Can/should I just use a networked folder as a duplicati backup destination?
HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world 1 week agoSMB isn’t really all that slow these days.
I have NFS and SMB shares set up (same directory) and copying files to/from them maxes out my gigabit LAN.
SSH on the other hand is slower, because there’s more CPU overhead.

All data and benchmarks would disagree with you. If you find something showing that SMB isn’t slower than the others mentioned, I’d love to see it.

I disagree with the other person, rsync + ssh is faster even in my own benchmarks. But samba is plenty fast enough these days, I can easily have it max out my gigabit network so I don’t need anything faster. So for me (and I would guess the majority of people) speed really isn’t a concern anymore, so I use samba because it’s easy to use and it makes sharing network folders to anything else a breeze.
It’s like phones. Yeah technically the newest iPhone is faster than this years budget Samsung. But when’s the last time your phone was actually a bottleneck? (Unless you’re one of those people who play games, in which case, actually please respond cause I could use some really nice idle city builders for my phone pls)

Real world usage tells me all I need to know.
