Brian from BackBlaze reached out and provided some feedback: I checked into it, and we think your restore is slow for several reasons: 1) Lots of tiny files (we are fixing this in a rewrite literally this week) 2) It landed on a slow restore server. (We are planning on decommissioning that server soon because it is 8 years old and slow.) We have the technology to move your restore to a faster restore server. However, the restore experts here tell me your restore is actually 90% through the part that would speed up, so they recommend just "let it run". I really really hope it will be finished and ready for you in the next few days. If you need some of your files any faster, I think you should prepare several smaller restores. It turns out that if you prepare four restores, each one 25% as large as the original, the four restores will complete 4x faster because they are prepared by four separate servers. You can create up to 10 simultaneous ZIP restores, and they are totally free, so feel free to spin up a few more restores even if they overlap with the original large 1.1 TByte restore. Please reach out to me again if your restore isn't ready by Tuesday (October 10th).
