^ 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 .
OTHER SPACE OPTIONS
From 20GB upwards, additional space can be added at the
same rate. For example if you need 22GB of space you would
purchase the 20GB plan and then via the extra features section
of our panel add an additional 2GB at £2 so the total
price would be £22 per month for 22GB of storage space.
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 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.
