some send you emails when your backup’s done/failed.ģ- Invasion of Privacy. The logs are useless to the average user, other companies I tried give you a log with a list of files uploaded, failed files, time it took etc. Needs more stats, I’d love to know exactly what files I’ve backed instead of going to the explorer file tree, how long it took for my last download. Again, inconvenientĢ- Lack of info on the desk client. You can also click a button, select files in the explorer window, etc. jpgs and it won’t work, a video clip did ‘tho. They claim that you can ‘Drag and Drop’ files but I’ve tried with. Unlike Dropbox and others, Zools doesn’t give you a folder to sync your files nor a way to do so from the desktop program.

I wish I could write more about all the backup providers I’ve tested this week, maybe I’ll get a youtube account and do that.ġ- The Zoolz desktop program doesn’t have ‘Instant vault’ functionality! (If you bought it, my plan came with 1TB hot and 1TB cold storage) Instant Vault works like this: from the website you upload your files and from the website you download them. I got Zoolz because the speed is decent and the price is right since money is tight right now. For the “but how’s abouts when they go out of business?” crowd, well, the company has been on since 2010/2012, if they go out of business in three years then I got three years for $45.00, anything after that is the cherry on the cake. They have good offers for ‘lifetime’ accounts. The Zools program has some settings to speed uploads, try 'em.ĥ- Price. Someone online mentioned a problem with the router settings that slows down uploads.

My internet speed is 10Gbs up and 80gbs down (As claimed by my evil ISP)Ĥ- Lots of people complain about slow speeds, here some factors: Old modem/computer, your internet speed, you're streaming an HD movie and downloading another one at the same time while backing up (Not gonna happen!) just now with a 1.5GB folder!), I haven't downloaded any files from the cold vault yet.

I've tested uploading 1GB worth of files, it takes my computer around 10 minutes to upload 1GB (Six m. You can browse the files in your browserģ- Speed. The good thing about this is that your files will NEVER be deleted (Unless you go to the web site and delete them yourself). Add to that the time that it will take to download said files.

If you want to back up your movies or if you are a pro photographer you need 1TB+Ģ- This is only COLD storage! Meaning? If you lose the files in your pc it will take from 3 to 5 hours for Zoolz to prepare the files and give them to you. I just bought the 2TB plan from another website, $45.00 after coupon, and I thought I'd give my unrequested opinion.ġ-đ00GB is enough for a regular user with pictures (10GB in my case), important documents, game saves, etc. Hope so - because I'm just uploading 95Gb of files. Okay - but then the only problem you MAY have (as outlined elsewhere here) - is, will they still be in business in a year or two's time? Because they have different plans (for upload speed, for instance) my betting is they will be. The only trouble of course is that 100Gb goes VERY fast - so of course it is more of a come-on for their services.

I chose 256Kbps and hope that allows me plenty of bandwidth to carry on with my work.Īll-in-all, it is a simply-operated programme that could come in useful. In my case, I was surprised how quickly 100Gb goes! So I had to go back and click several folders OFF.īefore you start backing up you can choose how much bandwidth you wish to devote to it (useful if you want to leave that computer to talk to Zoolz, while browsing on another computer). Each time you select or de-select a folder, the programme recalculates how much space you will be using up, before you start the backup. Once you select your disk partition, you then have to select which sub-directories or folders you want to back up. Tranmontane - That's me, coming back to say that now I have tried it, and find there are quite a few useful settings, like days and times to re-back up, I can say it looks like it could be a useful tool to have.
