Recovery performance is primarily influenced by two factors:
- Backup job block size
- The distance between your object storage and the recovery center
Optimizing these settings can significantly reduce recovery times.
1. Increase Your Backup Job Block Size
The block size configured for your backup jobs has a direct impact on recovery performance. Larger block sizes typically allow data to be restored more efficiently, resulting in faster recovery speeds.

2. Choose a Recovery Center Close to Your Object Storage
The distance between your object storage provider and the recovery center plays a significant role in recovery performance. Selecting a recovery location that is geographically close to your object storage reduces network latency and improves restore speeds.
Example
If your backups are stored in Wasabi us-east-1 (Virginia), choose the recovery center closest to that region.
For example, PhoenixNAP Ashburn, Virginia is an excellent choice because it is geographically close to the Wasabi us-east-1 data center. This minimizes network latency and helps achieve faster recovery speeds.
