Hey, I would like to know what cloud backup software is the fastest as I need to backup 2 tb data. I'm going back to win 10 but the go back button is gone so I want to backup all data just incase I have to reset whole pc

a local backup would be considerably faster than a cloud backup , is there a reason you cannot do a normal local backup?

It's basically limited to your upload speed which will likely be like 5mb/s if you are lucky. Then this operation will take literally days. 

 

I'd suggest an external hard drive. This will also make life easier for future backups which you should definitely make.

In Windows 10, it's in the Control Panel called "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)". It's the classic that will allow backing up of files and/or a BMR based backup.

There's also Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE. It will do the same as the above. Just remember after installing it to create the ISO or bootable USB flash drive from it. If just the ISO, place it on the external USB drive you plan on backing up too. If needed later, you can always turn that ISO into a bootable USB flash drive with RUFUS.

Even if you have an account where you can store more than 2TB of data, cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc will not back that up overly quickly. Bandwidth is expensive and they typically throttle you at speeds that make initial uploads slow and incremental changes okay.

 

Buying an external drive is you best bet here. But if you have to go with a cloud solution these guys think Mega is the fastest but even their speeds are pretty slow. To really get fast bandwidth you'll have to pay for it by using a business focused solution like AWS S3, but that's going to be way more expensive than a hard drive.
