Slowness when performing backups with BorgBackup and Rclone Mount

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Lately my backups using the borgbackup tool as a destination for an rclone mount have been behaving extremely slowly, taking about 2 days to back up a few megabytes or gigabyts.

Just over 3 months ago, backups normally took a maximum of 2 to 3 hours.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.67.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.8.0-39-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.22.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

Try with the same rclone version you used 3 months ago. Only if fast again it would mean that problem is with the latest rclone. Otherwise it is not rclone problem.

3

have you searched the log for ERROR, WARNING or entries related to pacing or retries?

4

Yes, but I didn't find anything else.

5

so the issue could be with borgbackup?

Below are the Task Logs, one executed successfully and the other in progress at the time of posting, where it appears to present the same error.

Borg does work with rclone mount however not perfectly

rclone doesn't play well with borgrclone have been thoroughly tested with restic

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/8325
based on that, you have many non-rclone issues,
including forced to re-install the OS, to newer version of ubuntu, and a newer version of borg.
