Given that the whole point of what I was trying to do was to avoid re-uploading stuff after having just spent 3 weeks on my initial backup, the solution suggested doesn't really help as I'd have to start again anyway.
It would be nice to understand more about the "different underlying technology" before requesting to have my account changed over to it..... is there any documentation about it?
For example some questions:
1. Is it still a trial system that possibly has problems? I don't want to move over to a new system if it means there is a risk to my backups while you are trying new systems.
2. Why were new accounts not on this new system? is it because it's still a beta test?
3. Will there be any difference in speed?
4. If I'm not happy after I've been moved, can I change it back to the older previous technology?
5. Will my old backup be deleted instantly before I can start uploading again? leading to a period of several weeks when I have no active backup? Or can my old backup be preserved until my new one is complete?
thanks.
