For a typical system on a typical broadband line, Disk Hero backs up
data at about 1GB every 70 minutes. But if left undisturbed on a fast
connection, you can back up over 9GB in a single day. U3 and USB drives
will be slower transfer speeds because of the physical limitations of
the USB hardware port on your computer - it runs much slower so just
expect this to effect Disk Hero and that this speed limitation is not a
function of Disk Hero but a limit to the physical USB port. To read
more about USB speeds click here.
You may experience faster or slower speeds depending on your
connection. You may want to check your favorite bandwidth meter test to
measure your broadband connection. Here
is one from Speakeasy that we like to use. You will be uploading to the
Disk Hero servers when you back up, so pay attention to the "Upload"
part of the test results.
