How long does it take to backup?
| The answer to this question cannot be an exact/precise one. Many factors are involved into the backup procedures, such as total number of files selected for backup, file types, connection to the internet and even computer`s speed.
As an example, if you have an upload speed of 512 kbit/sec, you can upload 3MB/minute. That takes up to 6 hours for 1 GB. If you have files of 10 GB (songs, pictures etc.) the backup will take up to 3 days the first time, however, after doing the first backup, GlobeBackup will only backup new or changed files (GlobeBackup can actually stop at only saving the changed part of a large file) - so after the first long backup it should be fairly fast.
