Benchmarking
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The backup client also comes with a benchmarking tool. This tool measures
various metrics relating to compression and encryption speeds. You can run a
benchmark using the ``benchmark`` subcommand of ``proxmox-backup-client``:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client benchmark
Uploaded 656 chunks in 5 seconds.
Time per request: 7659 microseconds.
TLS speed: 547.60 MB/s
SHA256 speed: 585.76 MB/s
Compression speed: 1923.96 MB/s
Decompress speed: 7885.24 MB/s
AES256/GCM speed: 3974.03 MB/s

You can also pass the ``--output-format`` parameter to output stats in ``json``,
rather than the default table format.
