Speed of Initial AWS S3 Backup with ReadyNAS
I started a 75Gb backup to Amazon AWS S3 back on 1/26/19, setting it to sync daily, and it is still not done, though it seems to be very slowly adding subfolders. Is this typical performance for cloud backup, or should I be looking for a problem?

How fast is your internet upload speed?
Speedtest.net reports 0.33 Mbps

At that speed a 75 GiB backup would take at least 22 days. That's the best case - assuming that 100% of your internet speed was used to upload the backup 24/7.
Though if the sync was running when you used speedtest, it's possible that your ISP speed is a bit faster than that. Do you know what service you are paying for? Usually the upload/download speeds are also in your ISP bill (or the information in your ISP account).
