Introduction
Efficiently backing up your data is crucial, especially when handling large files or initial backups. BigMIND offers several features to optimize backup speed, ensuring minimal resource usage while maintaining data integrity. Here is how to tweak your settings for the best performance.
Key Considerations
1. Incremental Backups: BigMIND does incremental backups, making the initial backup the most resource-intensive. Subsequent backups are faster as they only upload new or modified data. (Learn more)
2. System and Network: Your device’s processing power and internet upload speed significantly impact backup performance.
Optimizing Backup Speed
1. Enable Multithreaded Uploads: This feature allows multiple files to be uploaded simultaneously, accelerating the backup process. (Learn more)
2. Disable Bandwidth Throttling: By turning off bandwidth throttling, BigMIND can use the full bandwidth of your internet connection, speeding up uploads. (Learn more)
3. Switch to Turbo Mode: Turbo Mode prioritizes BigMIND, utilizing more system resources to enhance backup speed. Note that this may slightly reduce overall computer performance during backups. (Learn more)
4. Schedule Backups Wisely: Schedule backups based on your data size and system capability. Frequent, smaller backups are generally faster and more efficient than infrequent, large backups. (Learn more)
Avoiding Interference
1. Antivirus Exclusions: Add BigMIND directories to your antivirus exclusion list to prevent interference, which can slow down the backup process. Here are the main BigMIND directories:
- C:\Program Files\Genie9\BigMIND
- C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Genie9\BigMIND
2. Limit Concurrent Backup Solutions: Running multiple backup programs simultaneously can cause conflicts. If necessary, ensure they do not target the same files.
Final Notes
BigMIND leverages the latest cloud technology for reliable and secure backups. While speed can vary based on conditions, proper configuration can significantly improve performance.
The deduplication feature helps reduce upload times by only uploading unique data chunks. (Learn more)
