When WebGIS DR writes the backup to my company's on-premise file servers, the writes (512 bytes in length per Process Monitor) take a long time and WebGIS DR would take about 15 hours to write 4 GB, which is unreasonable.
However, when I copy the file from ArcGIS Server's C drive to the file server using Windows Explorer, Windows Explorer writes 1,048,576 bytes at a time and finishes in a snap.
How do I tell WebGIS DR to write more data each time?
