Hey,
My setup consists of having PVE at location 1 and PBS at location 2. The backups are working fine but today I had to do a restore:
(2h for a 40GB disk)
The latency of the servers is approx. 12 ms and one side has a 10 Gbit/s and the other a 1 Gbit/s connection.
I have found the following article:
So is it really the case that this setup does not work with a remote PBS because the restore simply takes forever?
My setup consists of having PVE at location 1 and PBS at location 2. The backups are working fine but today I had to do a restore:
restore image complete (bytes=42949672960, duration=6725.02s, speed=6.09MB/s)
(2h for a 40GB disk)
The latency of the servers is approx. 12 ms and one side has a 10 Gbit/s and the other a 1 Gbit/s connection.
I have found the following article:
Currently have proxmox 8.2 and PBS 3.2, backup of a 1.65TiB takes around 1 hour (which is pretty fast).
But restore took us 14 hours....which is very long.
You can find attached image of a PBS benchmark:

Machine specs:
i9-10940X CPU @ 3.30GHz CPU @ 3.3GHz
128G DDR4 3000MT/s
4TiB P2 NVMe PCIe SSD
Upload speed is ~60MB/s
