Bandwidth calculator

This calculator is designed to provide transmission times across various size links using our online backup service. For an approximate idea of the time for the initial (or seed) backup use a data size of 50% of the volume of data you want backed up, and to then calculate the time for subsequent backups use a data size of approximately 2% of your original data size.

Shortened Explanation of Bandwidth

Byte = 8 bits
Kilobyte = 1023 Bytes
Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes
Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes
Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes
Kbps = 1000 bits per second
Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second
Gbps = 1,000,000,000 bits per second
Transmission speeds may vary significantly with protocol overhead
eg. TCP/IP reduces available bandwith by 10% because of protocol overhead alone
