You know the feeling. It’s 2pm, someone’s Teams call keeps freezing, the shared drive is crawling, and someone finally asks the question: “Is the backup running again?”
For a lot of small businesses, cloud backup and a normal working day have been fighting over the same internet connection, and the backup usually wins by accident, not because anyone wanted it to. The fix has always been the same blunt instrument: either let backups run flat out and put up with the slowdown, or cap the speed permanently and end up with backups that take far too long to finish.
SAFE Backup PLUS now lets you schedule your speed limits, so you don’t have to choose between the two.
Instead of one fixed bandwidth cap, you can now set different limits for specific times of day and specific days of the week. A typical setup might look like this: throttle backups right down during office hours, Monday to Friday, 9 till 5, so nobody notices they’re even running, then let them open up to full speed overnight and at weekends when nobody’s fighting them for bandwidth.
It’s a small change on paper, but it solves a genuinely common problem. No more choosing between “backups that finish” and “an office that can actually get online.” You get both, automatically, on a schedule you set once and then forget about.
If you’re already a SAFE Backup PLUS customer, this is available now, just get in touch with our support team and we’ll help you set up a schedule that fits how your office actually works. If you’re not yet backing up with us, it’s one more reason worth a look.
