How long will my data transfer take?
Once your initial data transfer is complete, any further data transfers should take minutes if not seconds to update depending on the size of your transfer. It is rare for this to take longer than this and we would normally look at the upload speed of your Internet connection as a potential issue.
What do my Results Mean?
From analysing your Internet connection, we can confirm that you’re running at your maximum upload speed. We have tailored our service to be the fastest online data storage provider for customers with upload speeds similar to yours. Other competitors can throttle their customers to minimise their server loads. Here at BackupGenie we do not implement such features to provide our customers with the fastest service possible.
Help Speed Up Your Data Transfers
We advise you to turn off any sleep settings you may have set on this computer, and make sure it is not turned off during this first transfer. Additionally we recommend you frequently de-fragment your hard drive to increase the speed of your data transfer. You could also try our Supercharged Transfers. This feature will rapidly increase the speed of your transfers. Get all your files stored online and secure in record time as we’ll assign your files to our fastest servers. These VIP servers have fewer customers with minimal loads.
