Benchmarks
Real measurements from the Backup Verified Agent: upload time and verification time across multiple backup sizes.
Restore is always performed locally with your key.
Upload performance
End-to-end agent run time (build payload + upload + API finalize).
These times represent the full runtime of the agent backup command.
Verification performance
Time required to confirm backup integrity.
Verification runs independently after upload completes.
What this proves
Backup Verified reliably handles multi-gigabyte encrypted backups.
Multipart upload support
Large backups stream efficiently to Managed Storage.
Independent verification
Integrity is verified after upload without needing your key.
Predictable performance
Verification scales linearly with payload size.
Quiet competence.
No hype. Just real measurements.

Network environment
These benchmark runs were recorded from a typical U.S. cloud server environment. Actual backup times will vary depending on your network connection, server location, and storage region.
Reference bandwidth
| Upload bandwidth | ~150 Mbps |
| Download bandwidth | ~400 Mbps |
| Test environment | US cloud server |
Why this matters
Upload time depends on your uplink
The agent compresses, encrypts, and uploads from your system, so your network speed directly affects total backup time.
Verification is offsite in an ephemeral environment
Verification timing is not dependent on your infrastructure.
These values are included to give context to the benchmark numbers above, not to claim a guaranteed transfer rate.
Methodology
Benchmarks recorded using the Backup Verified Agent benchmark harness on March 4, 2026.
Backup process
- Run configured streaming command
- Compress locally
- Encrypt locally
- Upload encrypted payload to Managed Storage
- Finalize metadata
Verification process
- Independent verifier job
- Streams encrypted payload
- Confirms checksum and completeness
Security model
Backups are encrypted locally. Backup Verified can store and verify them — but cannot read your data.
