I’m running my first SharePoint backup and 2 days later it is still running. How do I optimize the performance?

Microsoft throttles their Azure Apps to ensure a consistent experience for all users.

For SharePoint with Modern Auth the recommended default is 3 apps or more depending on the site count: 5 Azure apps for 5,000 sites and every 1k additional sites, register 1 additional app.
