How Does the Cloud Backup Service Work?

The first time cloud backup runs, the appliance performs a full cloud backup for the selected folders. This may take a long time, depending on the size of your data set. Subsequent backups are performed incrementally and normally take much less time than the initial backup. Only data that has actually changed is uploaded.

CTERA uses state-of-the-art data compression and data deduplication techniques, to ensure the backup happens as quickly and efficiently as possible.
