It might be normal indeed, it’s been such a long time I dug into the mechanics of how duplicity restores files. It keeps files as individual chunks and combines them during restore, so that sounds reasonable.
That also means it can be slow depending on how many volumes the files pieces were spread among. It might have to download a bunch and apply the pieces together. The version you are using actually uses a different backend tool than duplicity when you make a new backup into a fresh folder - it uses Restic. I’d be curious if you tested that out and found it to be any faster during restores. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2121282 Title: Recovery process extremely slow Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a problem where restoring a backup of 5 files totaling 1 MB takes over 20 minutes. In addition, the restored files are first displayed as folders and then converted into a file. Is this normal?
