Hello
Yes we use it every week to back up changed courses in case we need to
restore them without the need to restore the whole lot to a test server. If
I remember correctly 3000 courses would take about 12 hours. Of course its
all relative. How many course you are backing up, how big those course are
and how powerful the hardware is.
