Data Protection: Online Backup: How it Works

To use Online Backup, you simply download the client – we’ll send you a link, or you can download from CloudPortal - and install Online Backup on the PC or laptop you want to back up. Once Online Backup is running, users can:

• Determine which files or folders to back up based on location or type
• Right-click to add a file to a backup set
• Control back up settings – either automatic or scheduled
• Browse and search backup sets

Other features of Online Backup include

• Block-level incremental backups – only new or changed portions of files are backed up
• Bandwidth throttling – limit how much of your internet connection is used during backups
• Back up to local drive or share drive
• Versioning – restore files versions for up to 30 days

As an administrator, you can manage your Online Backup service directly from CloudPortal, allowing you to:

• Add new computers
• View backup status for each machine
• Restore data backup sets
• View storage usage

Online Backup is available for both Windows and Mac desktop and server operating systems.
