## Troubleshooting
* If the backup is slow, then try setting higher value for `-concurrency` flag. This will increase the number of concurrent workers that upload data to backup storage.
* If `vmbackup` eats all the network bandwidth, then set `-maxBytesPerSecond` to the desired value.
* If `vmbackup` eats all the network bandwidth or CPU, then either decrease the `-concurrency` command-line flag value or set `-maxBytesPerSecond` command-line flag value to lower value.
* If `vmbackup` consumes all the CPU on systems with big number of CPU cores, then try running it with `-filestream.disableFadvise` command-line flag.
* If `vmbackup` has been interrupted due to temporary error, then just restart it with the same args. It will resume the backup process.
* Backups created from [single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html) cannot be restored
at [cluster VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html) and vice versa.
