Recently got my UFB up and running, what a time to be alive.

I had been holding off on doing cloud backups until I got the fibre connection which I have now. Started them last night and it's done a few hundred GB overnight.

Got me thinking about the FUP, Voyager say if I'm in the 1% of people or putting strain on their network they will contact me. Just wondering if anyone here has hit that limit before, and how much had you used? After all the PCs are backed up its probably going to be 5-8TB of usage which I'm worried might be way too much. And maybe I should split it out over a few months.

Heya @ssamjh

 

5-8TB is fine.

 

If you were to get to the stage were we would deem your usage excessive, which is defined loosely (as I'm paraphrasing) as: costing Voyager more to provide you service, than you are currently paying for it", we would get in contact to discuss it/options. We wouldn't just cut you off.

 

Something that is also worth noting, traffic between Voyager endpoints is "free" on broadband connections - so if you are backing up between 2x Voyager connections, it won't be counted.
