      I'm still waiting for my first CP upload to finish. 73 days.

      I have approximately 1.5 TB on crash plan and it only took like 10 15 days to upload on my home cable connection

        ., but the CEO immediately shot down anything with that kind of latency.

        Why is this the CEO decision? He shouldn't even be in involved. That should be the IT Director and CIO.

          I had my laptop's backups in there. It was only around 200GB, but the backup I use (backintime) uses hard links and I think it was screwing with CrashPlan. It said I had something around 6TB to back up. I removed that folder and it went down to 1.6TB.

          Once the other stuff is initially uploaded I'll add the laptop backup in and see if it really takes forever (it shouldn't because the hard links don't take up any space). I think it just screwed with the way it calculates everything.

            Apparently the CEO thinks that his value as a CEO isn't time well spent and that his desktop support skills are where his value to the company is.

              We restructured. IT was reporting to Engineering Manager > IT Director > VP of Operations > CEO (who writes off all big stuff). Took forever for approvals to do anything. EM quit after 10 years so we reported to the VP of Ops for 2 weeks. Then we're told IT is a corporate function, not Engineering/Ops, so started reporting to the CEO for everything. Approvals that took years just to get shot down because of the chain, started getting approved in minutes. We can now use a ton of hosted services we were told go against contracts. All in all, I'm totally cool with the transition even if some of the smaller, stupid stuff gets dragged along.

                So they decided that things were bad and .... did this as the fix? Sounds like a problem from the top. Even with the new structure, this makes zero sense. The CEO is still getting involved where no manager should be. Sounds like the CEO is likely the root cause here.
