How long will it take to transfer, say 500 MB of compressed data, with my high speed Internet connection?
The time taken for online backups of your data depends on the speed of your Internet connection. If you are doing backups, then the upload speed will be more important than the download speed. Please note that we are assuming an average compression ratio of 1:3 for the data (i.e. a 500 MB of un-compressed data will be compressed to about 170 MB of 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. So the time taken to transfer files could vary significantly, based on the type of files you transfer.
