Bandwidth With Backups

[jono]

Hi,

I'm running Joomla which is a content management system.
To add new features to my site, I need to upgrade the version of Joomla.

My plan is to download a full backup of my website including files and MySQL, load it onto my laptop and run it on a web server from there. This way I can perform the upgrade here without any risk to the live site. If it was successfull, I am going to upload the updated site back onto the server.

The question I have is:
I have approx 700mb of files on the server. When i download these files, and upload them again when I have finished, does this count towards my monthly bandwidth allowance? If it does, I may need to wait until next month as I'm running low for this month!

Thanks
Jon

Jon,

Thanks for your enquiry. I can confirm that backing up and then re-uploading it will indeed count towards your monthly bandwidth allowance.

As it's a new month from midnight tonight why not just wait till then? - or alternatively, you can upgrade hosting packages or add additional bandwidth for £1 per GB per month.

Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for getting back to me.

Oh yeah! I forgot that it's a new month tomorrow! Thanks for pointing that out! 

Might do it tonight then, still got 8gb out of 40gb left!

Thanks a lot!
