Tool 03 / Recovery
Can you restore
before it matters?
Estimate the transfer time for your data and connection. A backup is useful only when the recovery path fits your deadline.
From bytes to hours
Transfer hours = (TB × 10¹² × 8) ÷ (Mbps × 10⁶ × efficiency ÷ 100) ÷ 3,600
Total hours = transfer hours + setup and validation allowanceTB and Mbps use decimal units. Efficiency is an assumption, not a measured network statistic. Use the slowest sustained part of the path: provider delivery, WAN connection, decryption, decompression or disk writes. A small restore test is more informative than your advertised connection speed.
