Erm, those numbers don't make any sense to me- as an example, we
regularly back up a 12GB database, from Dallas to San Fran, in 5
minutes.
I see you're requesting a checkpoint to start immediately, but how long
does the checkpoint actually take to complete? Have you looked at your
PG logs..?
Have you tried running 'top' and then running the backup and looked to
see what's going on? Is the CPU at 100%? Are all the processes stuck
in 'D' state all the time (meaning you don't have enough i/o resources),
or...?

Given sufficient resources, we've seen pgbackrest push over 1TB/hour, so
there is definitely something strange going on here.
Thanks,
