how long to do a backup?
#2
Hello Dennis,

There's two time consuming steps in each backup.
The copy and then followed up by an md5 sum on the copied files to be able guarantee the integrity of the copied files.
So the copying depends on how fast your system is able to read/write to the backup target.
An external 4TB usb disk in your case.

The best way to find out is by running the backup.
Note that you do not have to keep the program open to run the backup, it runs in the background via a worker process.
It is also possible to run backups on a timed schedule. Although the latter is a paid option after the trial runs out.
You can however still make manual backups or restore backups even when the trial period is over.
