How long will take to backup 200GB to ABR online using ABR11

Thread needs solution

Hi

I'm looking for offsite Bankup services, I just find ABR, and begin to try ABR11.
I have a windows 2003 server , and I use Optus Broadband (Standard download speed about 13.5mbps, and Upload speed 0.5mbps)
How long do you think to backup 200GB data from my server to ABR Online? and how long to restore?

Many Thanks!

Michael,

I'm afaid that is a like asking how " long is a piece of string". :)

Going by Optus ADSL 2+ speeds it takes nearly 3 hours to download 1G2B of data. I'm 6 klm's from the Brisbane exchange. Up loading a similar size file to Acronis recently took 20 hours.

Now if you are on fibre it should be slightly quicker except Optus throttle their bandwidth, and, depending on how many people are fed by that fibre cable on your run, you might only achieve the same speed as ASDL. I would suspect that the initial 200Gb would take 2 to 3 days assuming no interruptions and a good speed connection. If you are in Sydney or Melbourne CBD you might be lucky with the upload speed. Don't bother with validation as that would take twice as long.

I would suggest only sending data to the cloud and if your data is movies or large RAW pictures you would be better off storing them locally.
