- Its JetBackup timing study covers about 370 cPanel accounts on one server; 87% of the observed 2h10 backup night was preparation, mostly database dumps.
Field notes
The dated Lab includes a compression comparison (5.93 GB to 2.94 GB across 12 accounts) and a per-account cache test covering 233,000 files. Its timing study is explicitly one JetBackup 5 night on a cPanel server with about 370 accounts; it attributes 87% of 2h10 to preparation, mostly database dumps, and 13% to rsync transfer. These are lab measurements, not evidence of Salvo production performance.
