    Ah so not that much better.. disk throughput is one thing but iops is also important so not the whole picture.. but cachefly result seems slow though at 29MB/s so they cap to 250Mbps ?

    Yeah doesn't meet either of our 500Mbps to 1Gbps requirements. For me portability of data to and from a server is important (for backups/restores and migrations) and how fast you can do that is very important to me.
    • At 29MB/s, transferring 100GB of data would take in theory = (100x1024)/29 = 3,531 seconds or 58.85 minutes.
    • At 29MB/s, transferring 250GB of data would take in theory = (250x1024)/29 = 8,828 seconds or 147.13 minutes.
    both too slow heh and if in Singapore at 10.4MB/s that would take nearly 2.8x times longer ~165 to 411 minutes !

    That's only for single file?
    How about 300K PHP/Images files? :D
    Could take more time.

    indeed but usually for backup/migrations you'd tar/gzip all of it in one file :)

    For large site/forum, I don't do that most of the time.
    I just use rsync.

    Doing tar/gzip could consume more time and CPU usage :D.

    But for DB/SQL file, Yes I archive it before transferring to another host.

    that's why you need to chose and spec your server hardware appropriately - 24/7 normal loads should include backup/restore tasks + data restore/recovery from corruption tasks in the formula for choosing the appropriate server hardware. This is what I usually do as part of my private client server optimisation consults :D

    I prefer to rsync first to backup server, then just do the compression on backup server so that resources on my limited 4GB Linode will not be use much :D.
