Introduction

BigMIND offers robust data backup solutions without imposing strict limitations on upload and download processes. This article provides an in-depth look at the guidelines and considerations users should be aware of to optimize their backup and restoration activities.

While BigMIND does not restrict individual file sizes or throttle upload speeds, there are specific guidelines to ensure smooth operations. For uploads and downloads via the BigMIND client software, there are no limitations. However, for web-based transfers, certain constraints apply. When using the BigMIND web console;

  • The upload limit per request is 10 GB.
  • The download limits are 2000 files per request via desktop and 10 files per request via mobile.

Key Considerations

1. Memory Usage

BigMIND dynamically adjusts memory usage based on backup size, ensuring efficient performance without user intervention.

2. Backup Speed

Backup completion times are influenced by your internet upload speed. Users with fast connections may experience quick backups, but upload throttling options are available for those who prefer to manage bandwidth usage.

3. Large Open Files

Continuously changing large files, such as Outlook PST files, may present challenges during backup. Strategies for handling these files are available in the  following resources:

4. Files Excluded from Backup

Certain files and folders, including temporary and system files, are auto-excluded to prevent backup issues and ensure effective data restoration. (Learn more)

By understanding these parameters, users can efficiently manage their data backups and restorations, leveraging the full potential of BigMIND.
