How long will online backup services or remote backup take?
A.High-speed Internet connections will obviously speed up the time it takes to back up your files and folders. Dial-up Internet users could face longer times but if they do incremental backups and schedule effectively they can save time. Initial backups can take from hours to days depending on the volume and size of the data that is required to back up. That’s why many people opt to conduct this during off-peak hours or even weekends. Time taken for subsequent and routine backups will be much shorter once the first backup is complete as only the changes or new documents will need to be copied and stored.
