Backup times

Thread needs solution

Just now backing up to Cloud for the first time. Timer says "This will take a while".  Then the timer tells me the backup will take over 19 days. This is just a little laptop.  Nineteen days? Really?

The backup time is not due to any acronis setting. The problem is that internet connections are asyncronis; the download speed it much higher than the upload speed. For example, my Cable connection is 100/2 Mbps, so it takes a long time to upload a full backup. The good news is that once the inital backup is made, the subsequent backups are much faster.

On my 100/2 connection it usually takes 2 to 3 day to do a new cloud backup of system disk (usually 250gig SSD with about 50 to 70 gigs that is uploaded as part of the backup).

Thank you for that explanation.  It helps and it makes sense now that I understand a little better.
