How quickly will the data be transmitted over the leased line?
A 2Mb leased line will backup at approximately 200K/sec, however, this data is compressed bringing the effective backup speed to nearer 400K/sec. In real terms, this equates to a transfer rate of approximately 20Gb per day of compressed data (40Gb per day uncompressed). At this stage the data has also been delta blocked and ‘common file eliminated’ to ensure that only new data is backed up.
