How long does it take to backup to the cloud?

For a typical computer on a typical broadband line, iProtectMac backs up about 2 GBs per day if you work on the computer while the cloud backup is running. If left undisturbed on a fast connection, some Mac machines have been able to back up over 10 GB in a single day. You may experience faster or slower speeds depending on your connection, you may want to use a bandwidth meter to measure your broadband connection speed. We recommend using the meter from http://www.speedtest.net/.

During installation, iProtectMac gives you a view of the percentage of your initial data backup that has been encrypted and transported to the cloud. After your initial backup, subsequent cloud backups are relatively quick and unobtrusive. This is possible because iProtectMac dedupes your backups.  This means that it recognizes the redundant data and only backs up the portions of your files that have changed since the last backup. This saves you bandwidth, storage and money.
