File Read Concurrency
=====================
When backing up fast storage like NVME disks, it can be beneficial to increase the read
concurrency. This can increase the overall performance of the backup operation by reading
more files in parallel. You can specify the concurrency of file reads with the
``RESTIC_READ_CONCURRENCY`` environment variable or the ``--read-concurrency`` flag for
When backing up files from fast storage like NVMe disks, it can be beneficial to increase
the read concurrency. This can increase the overall performance of the backup operation
by reading more files in parallel. You can specify the concurrency of file reads with the
``RESTIC_READ_CONCURRENCY`` environment variable or the ``--read-concurrency`` option of
the ``backup`` command.
