It's true that backups will take a long time too, but you're often in much less of a hurry with them than when restoring.

- kijin 15y agoOne of the reasons they made March 31st World Backup Day is to prevent data loss in case of a nasty prank on April Fools' Day. Not sure how realistic a threat that is, but it sort of defeats the stated purpose of World Backup Day if your backup won't complete until mid-May. Also, most remote backup services allow you to restore files and folders selectively, so you just need to download a small amount if you're in a real hurry.
