One of the comments that we receive from users is that Altexa Backup is sometimes…well…not strikingly fast during a backup run.
Without going into too much detail, the software gas to spend a fair bit of time talking to the backup server, to get a file backed-up. It’s this conversation which slows everything down.
So this week, we made some fairly sweeping changes to our database backend. These should have been transparent for all our users. Again, we’ll not go into too much detail regarding the changes themselves….that is a part of the Altexa Backup system you’ll never see, and the only people to get really excited about it are our IT guys, but…
The result is fairly spectacular. Without changing any of the software you see on your PC, we have managed to more than double the backup speed, especially when a lot of small files are in the backup set.
As always, we’ll be making more changes gradually over the next few months…and we’ll keep you posted here.
