How long would it take to transfer, say 500MB with my high speed internet connection?
The time taken for an online backup of your data depends on the speed of your Internet connection. Also, if you are backing up, your upload speed would be more important than your download speed. For instance, – if your upload speed is 250Kb/sec,then the estimated time to transfer 500MB of uncompressed data using IBackup for Windows with compression option checked would be approximately 90minutes. – if your upload speed is 1Mb/sec, the estimated time to transfer would be approximately 20minutes. We are assuming a compression ratio of 1:3 which is sort of average. (i.e. a 500MB of un-compressed data will be compressed to about 170MB of compressed data). The compression ratio could be higher or lower depending on the type of files transferred. A text file or an Access database could have a compression ratio as high as 8:1 or a multimedia file, which is usually compressed by design to begin with, might have no impact with the IBackup’s compression.
