Performance

- Block level incremental backups — Saves bandwidth and ensures future backups are lightning fast.
- Bandwidth throttling — You can tell proSurf to use more or less of your upload bandwidth so other higher priority services can run unimpeded.

- proSurf's easy-to-use interface was designed with the "non-tech-savvy" user in mind. It's as simple as selecting the files to back up, scheduling the times, and letting proSurf do the rest.
