Stig Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I have read a few reviews about Zoolz, and most say it is very slow to restore files. Many hours even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prometheusx Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yes, I did test the program yesterday. Backing up things went pretty easily - select folders, click next, next, finish and it starts uploading the files. The upload was slow (6 Mb/s - yes, Megabits per second), so I went through the usual settings to see if there's something I can turn on. It supported multiple threads to upload, however, that didn't boost the speed. I've also tried recovery - it ran from 2 PM until 8 PM (!). I am not sure what kind of recovery method do they use of how their systems work, but to wait like 6 hours for 1.5 - 2 GBs of data, it's kinda unacceptable. Even if it's encrypted, I think that in 2017, a 6 hours of waiting for your lost data is unacceptable. So I cannot imaging using this like a drag&drop&upload service like Dropbox, but more like a disaster recovery tool - when all of your backups fail, this will remain safe. For now, I won't be using this tool since it's too slow. It's good that I have the account, but for now, I think I'll rest it a bit until I find a good usage for it.

Jogs Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Its cold storage, it takes time to recover. Its only good if you want to store anything for very long time and don't need to access it often. If you have something like old photos that you access rarely you can put it there, it will stay there for lifetime (but whose lifetime no one can tell). They also providing 75 GB of free storage for business which has 25 GB of hot storage, the storage which you can access regularly. But it can only be activated with a business email.
