Single Zip file execution time

    I have installed the fee version and am strongly considering a Pro license. I am in the evaluation stage and one thing concerns me. I do not want multiple zip files as my outcome, I want a single zip file. I see how do that by setting the Compress Files every 0MB. The issue is the change in execution time. When I did not have that set my execution time was about 10 minutes. After making the change to the Compress File setting, the backup has been running for 45 minutes and is not not yet. Given that I have about 35 sites I want to use this plugin on, that increase in execution would not be acceptable. What advice can you offer me?

    Hi @jschmidtsbss

    Thanks for your feedback!

    The plugin’s compression algorithm uses the pclzip library that comes with WordPress. This is to take into account compatibility issues.

    And the file compression speed depends entirely on the speed that PHP reads and writes files (in other words, your server disk I/O and the?number?of?files). PHP does not provide such a functional interface for optimizing file reading and writing speed.

    So the actual compression speed is completely beyond our control.

    Generally speaking, the larger the file, the slower the compression.

    We suggest that the 200M sub-package is a suitable size, because some servers do not allow a single file to exceed a certain size, for example 200 MB. In addition, large file is also not very convenient for transferring to remote storage (the transfer may time out).
    So we set the Compress Files every 200 MB by default. You can modify it in a suitable range such as 400 MB, but setting it to 0 MB is not a good option for all your sites.

    I hope this helps! Please feel free to let us know if you need any further information.
