^ SPACE NEEDED
You will need to allow some extra space for your retention
area (ie more than one version of your data is backed up
when you change/delete files). you can however control the
settings for this via the software you download. The default
setting is to retain files for seven days however this can
be set as high as 365 days or as low as one day (or a single
back up).
BANDWIDTH
Prices include data storage and bandwidth transfer fees
based on a maximum of .
SENDING THE FIRST BACK
UP TO US IF IT IS VERY LARGE
Hard copy media - As only the changes within the
files are sent to the back up server it is possible to back
up much more data in total than your internet connection
is capable of uploading within a reasonable time. This is
fine once the data is uploaded but may be a problem when
you upload for the first time.
If this is the case (and you have selected the Business
plan) we would recommend that you consider backing up to
a disk or hard drive the first time only and sending this
to us if the file size is large compared to your connection
speed. The alternative is that you do not select everything
at once and slowly increase the amount you back up. But
note that the data is compressed before being uploaded so
a 100MB file will not be as large when it is uploaded any
way.
The set up charge for manually doing this is calculated
as the same as the monthly fee. For example 1GB would be
£8.
The following is a rough guide for the maximum we would
recommend uploading initially direct via the internet rather
than using our software to create the first back up locally
and sending this to us.
