A standard ADSL link can transfer 3.5GB of data during a 12 hour backup window. After compression and deduplication, a full 3.5GB of data would represent a very large amount of new/changed data; Far more than an average small business would ever generate in a single day. If your client has more bandwidth available to them then backups will be faster and will allow for more data to be transferred within their backup window.

Resellers can also seed initial backups via external hard drive. This reduces backup lag time and leaves clients internet links operational during work hours.

Large resellers and enterprise clients have the option to purchase private links purely for backup purposes. This is useful when daily changes are so large they would impact the network speed for employees during business hours, and security when is a primary concern.
