How long does it take to import my database?

 

On average it should take about 5-10 minutes to import a database. This could change depending on your file size. When sending your database file to us for importing, we will import within 24 hours on business days.

NOTE: There is a difference between uploading a file and importing a file. Uploading is transferring a file from one computer to another through a network. Importing is the process of taking an uploaded file and extracting the information to re-create the original database. The time it takes to import a database is different from the time it takes to upload the file. Upload time depends on the following:

 

1.  Network problems

 

2.  File Size
