Slow speeds of Restic with Google Drive rclone backend

Getting Help

Changing the pack size to 256 MB does appear to have solved the speed problems! I get 6.9 MB/s:

Which I’m pretty sure is maxing out my current connection to Google Drive at this time (it tends to vary).

I haven’t noticed any other adverse effects of changing the pack size from my few minutes of usage; restic init and backup appear to work fine. I’ll report back again after using it for a little while longer.

Thank you for all your help, and your awesome work on restic!
