Description
Hello everyone,
We are using InfluxDBv2 OSS on docker .
We have problems with the restores of the backups.
Firstly, we have tried to do the backups completely: **influx backup -t --token** , but the restore was extremely slow and the server froze
Then, we changed the method and we started to do the backups by bucket: **influx backup --bucket -t --token**. However, the restore was extremely slow and the server froze too.
The backup apparently works correctly and fast without problems, but the restore of the backup is our problem. We tried only restore one bucket and we did with one that store about 65-70GB of data, but when we apply the command 'influx backup --bucket ...' it turns in about 2-2.5GB. It is getting days of restoring so i think it smells weird.
On the other hand we tried with one bucket that appling the command 'influx backup --bucket it store 400-500MB and when we start the restore of the bucket it works correctly and fastly.
We are doing the restore in one server with about 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, i5.
We will continue trying other methods while we wait a response about this :S.
Please watch the next picture where you can see the time spent in the last shard. The time that need each shard is incremented with each shard restored. Any idea about this problem?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported `influx backup --bucket` restore with the 65–70GB bucket and the smaller 400–500MB bucket on the stated 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM server. Compare the shard timing shown in the attached image and record whether the server freezes; the issue is resolved when the large backup restores without progressively increasing shard times or days-long execution.
