Could be a large harddrive over a dial up connection… except that a 56k modem would take ‘only’ 866 days to back up a 500 gig harddrive in full. Though, 6000 days on a 9.6k modem. And 24000 days on a 2.4k modem.
As an employee of Backblaze I find this completely awesome.
The number of days is calculated by how much data the customer has and what they set their own network throttle at. So if a customer puts the network throttle at the lowest setting and has a terabyte of data to backup, it will complete the backup by the time monkeys rule the planet.
I’ll ask the engineer to change it from “Relax” to “Time to freak out”.
So just what is the ‘fail’ here if I may ask, as several of you clearly figured out it isn’t 259 or 260 days but about 710 years, a time that I am not concerned with if they cheat me by a couple of years (decades or centuries) …………. It sounds good to me
Now if you think it’s a fail because they meant 259 days than it would be a complete failure of a back up service.
Do you want to save before you quit?
Ahhh, just leave the window open and go about your business.
Ah, that’s comforting.
okay – i feel dumb… i see that the number is wayyy off, but exactly what is the ad supposed to say?
thats not an ad, that is the status window on the backup software.
about 710 years to go….
okay, thanks. my bad…
You’s need to relax if you had to wait that long.
omg – is she “relaxing” on a wooden chair?
Her back’s going to be blazing.
Can you think of anything more relaxing?
Firemens blazing on her hot backside?
Sideways, at that.
and… are… those… red crocs???
Pandas in disguise.
i had to scratch my head for a couple seconds there… but
LOL
iseewhatyoudidthere!
How much is that in dog days?
1,041,795 dog days.
How much in warthog days?
Negative 7 Days
42
No, that’s the meaning of life according to Deep Thought
What was the question?
Restaurant at the end of the universe, anyone? I’m buying drinks!
First?
First
Is your software Y3K compliant?
Don’t worry, that are just about 710 years.
shoulda went pc instead of apple…
*gone. methinks past participle?
*Needs proposition
Finally a bargain. The other companies were making me wait a good million days.
shoulda just said “bumbai”. aurite!
Sounds like my internet connection.
Mine too. Except replace “days” with “years”.
well, that’s faster than windows vista!
just 710 and 1/2 years I’m sure you’ll still be alive then, no worries
Well, at least we know the incremental backups will happen faster. Patience is key, you know.
Get your relaxed back up!

Fake
259,260 days… better than never. ;D
It could be worse. I’ve had status windows tell me my uploads/downloads only have [infinity] minutes remaining.
My internet connection times out at infinity-1 minutes. So close!
Shouldn’t that chick be a skeleton by now?

Never Mind -…. should read this stuff at 3 am, after multiple 14 hr days
missed the ‘in’ , oh well, I guess they have a lot of clients, so a long waiting list ;-/
you’ll be dead..
That’s less than 710 years! Wow, this is going to be over before I know it!
Do they mean 259 to 260 days or do they mean over 720 years?
the comma would indicate the latter. ‘to’ is indicated by an en-dash (‘-’)
-700 Years later-
S#17, only ten more years to go! I’m on a roll!
this reminds me a Chinese pop’s name is Seven Hundred Years Later
She can back DAT ASS UP!!! ;0P
Think about how much more data she’ll get in that 710 years…
Ofcourse it would take that long, it’s a macbook.
relax Derek, relax.
