How to determine optimum upload speed cap for Object Storage?
Linode
Linode Staff
I am using Object Storage to perform some backups to Object Storage. However, the last time I attempted this I ran into an issue where the networking speed was insufficient for the operation and it created some performance issues for the Linode.
How can I determine a suitable rate-cap to prevent further performance issues? Is there a command to help me calculate this rate, and is it possible to set a cap in the S3 command?

By "rate-cap" do you mean that you want to set a throttle on your transfer? If so, I found this guide which may help:
