hey guys u have a dedicated server with: 20 real cpu core 64gb ram SSD hard disk i want to know: I need to backup accounts as quickly as possible What are the best settings for getting the fastest backup for the following values?

gzip compression level (Minimum: 1; Maximum: 9)

Number of pigz processes (Minimum: 1; Maximum: 128)

Number of kilobyte chunks per compression work unit (Minimum: 128; Maximum: 524,288)

please help me

  What you should use for speed is incremental with no compression. Believe it or not this also saves space when keeping multiple restore points.

  Totally agree with @GOT The only thing that "could" cause issues are databases. There is no way to do incremental database dumps, so they will be a full dump/backup each time. Depending on how many / size of the database, that can take a bit and chew up a bit of disk space.

  Both @GOT and @ffeingol are correct Incremental is extremely beneficial for many reasons namely being space consumption and the speed of which backups complete.

  We make backups on remote server and we have no problem with lack of space Our goal is just to make adjustments to the cpanels to get the backups as fast as possible

  While space consumption is an added benefit of Incremental backups - the speed is the other benefit due to the fact it only backups up changes (hence the name incremental) - this is the fastest and most efficient method IMO for backups. If you need compressed files though, you're going to be looking at a longer backup time no matter what you do, due to the compression process.

  You may also want to look at JetBackup. The cPanel backup is nice, but you really can't tune/configure much. You have a lot more flexibility with JetBackup.
