Estimating Your Backup Costs

Understanding & Estimating Your Backup Costs

We use a top-up/balance system and only charge you for the resources you use. You choose how much you would like to pay into your balance, as you use the service we calculate your charges based on your usage and deduct the charges from your balance. You can top-up your balance whenever you like, payment can be made by credit/debit card or PayPal.

All charges are based on the amount of data which is being stored or transferred. Not sure what a GB or MB is? Go to our Understanding File Sizes page.

Data Transfer Costs

Every time myRepono backs up your web site the system transfers the backup from your server, when this happens you are charged a fee for the bandwidth used. If you transfer a backup which is 1GB in size, you will be charged $0.20 US Dollars (or the equivalent in your chosen currency).

However, if you transfer a 1GB backup on an hourly basis you will transfer up to 744 backups in a month, in this case your cost per GB of data transfer would be reduced to $0.12 USD, resulting in a total data transfer of 744 GB and a total cost of $89.28 USD.

For a 100MB web site which is backed up once per day, the total monthly data transfer cost would be $0.59 USD.

Data Storage Costs

As you store your backups you will be charged a daily rate of $0.020 USD per GB of data stored.

So for example, if your backup is 1GB and you choose to store 3 backups you will be storing 3GB per day, the resulting daily cost would be $0.06 USD, the maximum monthly cost (for a 31 day month) would therefore be $1.86 USD.

Top-Up Value Examples

The following are examples of how much data storage or transfer you will receive for the example top-ups.

All figures are accurate to approximately 2.5%. Bulk usage discounts are based on usage and not top-up amount.

Top-Up Rewards

Whenever you top-up 10 USD/GBP/EUR or more, we will give you a 10% free top-up credit!

And to top that, if you top-up 50 USD/GBP/EUR or more, we will give you a 20% free top-up credit!

This means if you top-up $10 USD you get an extra $1 USD added to your account balance, or if you top-up $50 USD you get an extra $10 USD added to your account balance!

Estimating Your Backup Size

When you select which files you would like to backup you will be shown an estimate of your backup size which you can use to estimate your backup costs. Alternatively if you have a file manager for your web site you may use this to determine the file sizes for your files and databases.

The backup process uses a powerful compression algorithm which can reduce the backup packets to as little as 10% of their original filesize which can massively reduce your costs, the free trial credit should be more than sufficient for most users to find out exactly how much they will pay for their usage, so why not sign-up and give it a try?
