Creating backups faster?

I have found for the last two updates, that creating a backup is much faster? I create local backups of my 4 hubs every 2 weeks. The last two times it coincided with a hub firmware update.

TLDR; Hub backup is much faster is this normal?

I have a C7 that only has a few zigbee devices. I keep it in the house because I still have a few Iris V1 devices and until I get them all replaced I have to keep it going. This hub would take maybe 15 seconds to create a backup for download.

I have a C5 that is in my shop. It is pretty much stand alone and only has a few devices and rules on it. It would take only a slightly longer to create a backup for download.

The last two hubs are the main hubs in my house. A C8 that has all my home's devices and a few rules. It would take a minute or more to create a backup. The other C7 I have in the house contains most of my rules and cloud devices. That hub took several minutes to create and download a backup. In fact the Shop C5 and zigbee C7 could create a backup and load a new revision and almost be rebooted before the rules hub was through creating it's backup. Now they all take about the same amount of time.

I haven't seen any one mention this so I wonder if there was a change and should I be concerned the hubs are creating the backup so much faster. The fie sizes seem the same so it looks like it is working.

Need to know what versions? Are you a beta tester?

Try to download one of the updates and see if you get the lzf file. When the backups are corrupted it usually tries to give you an htm file people have found in the past.

Not a beta tester, I just updated to the latest. As I mentioned I create a local back up every two weeks, if there is a update available, I will backup and update to the latest. I was still one version behind when I did the backup yesterday. I am now on the latest.

So there has been no update specifically to make that faster?

Not that I know of, could have been a side effect of something else.
