Genie Online Backup :: Slow Uploading

Slow Uploading depends mainly on the speed of internet connection and amount of data transferred. The actual speed of a connection is not what is stated, for example, DSL 128 is the potential download speed of the connection, which is 128 kilo bits per second (Kbps). The actual speed will depend on traffic over the network. You can test your bandwidth by referring to Test Your Internet Connection Speed, however it will not give you correct results while GBM is uploading your file. If you wish to calculate an estimate time (not as accurate as testing the connection speed) you can refer to the following Calculator

Your connection upload speed:		Hours	Minutes	Seconds
File Size?		File upload time:
28.8 Kb
56 Kb
DSL: 64 Kb
CABLE: 128 Kb
256 Kb
1.5 Mbps

*If you don't know your connection upload speed contact your ISP provider

GBM will optimize your backup size by compressing data before sending, also supporting 4 types of backups enables the users to backup only changed and modified files making online backup faster after the first full backup. However it is recommended that you backup when traffic on the internet is low, usually during night, to do so, you can schedule your backups during night and also GBM can backup even while user is logged off.
