I regularly use my full 500mbps between torrents, steam, backing up my VPS servers to local NAS, and my whole family backing up to my NAS over the internet from their 100mbps connections.
I'll admit I am the exception, but with a decent ZFS pool you can easily saturate 500mbps with remote backups alone. I have a bunch of cheap SSDs in a mirror config and get about 2000MB/s write on a good day, so the bottleneck is very solidly on the network side.
- jotm 6y agoHow do they backup to NAS using the Internet connection? Is it not local?
- nikisweeting 6y agoTime Machine over VPN (Tailscale/Wireguard), works great. Requires fast ping and good bandwidth though, which we have (<10ms rtt from NYC to MTL! still blows my mind). Family -> NAS (using Time Machine) NAS -> Backblaze B2 (using Duplicati)
