I have been working with support for a few weeks trying to figure out why many of our client VM and Image backups to Google Nearline are taking three-five times longer than they used to. It started to happen at the end of July/beginning of August. A 50GB VHDx full backup that used to take 5 hours now taking 15 hours. We have 10 other clients that used to get 1.5-2MB/sec now only getting 300 - 500KB/sec - No change in bandwidth settings, and Speedtest shows no degradation in upload speeds.
Posting this to see if anyone else has experienced similar elongation in large file cloud backup times.
I am not talking about an isolated incident - many different clients - across three different ISP's - all that started exhibiting the slow speeds around the same timeframe. But not all of our clients are experiencing the slower than normal speeds.
Support has looked at it extensively and thus far have not come up with any answers.
