Ahsay Online Backup Suite V5.0: Whitepaper - Backup Speed

Overview This paper contains results of the test on backup speeds for the backup operation between Ahsay Offsite Backup Server (OBS) and Ahsay Online Backup Manager (OBM). It serves as a reference for partners and customers in planning their hardware and network capacity. The time required for a backup (or backup speed) depends very much on the backup set's constitution. Other than uploading a large number of files (over 2 million files) in a single backup, network latency is the major constraint on the backup speed. In general, for a large number of small files (e.g. File system backup), the uplink bandwidth is relatively less important as the stress would be on the CPU of the source machine.
