User Guide : My Secure Backup

There are two primary ways of using the My Secure Backup: You can choose to use one or both of these options.

  • The first option is to access your online storage as network drive (mapped drive on Windows or volume on Mac/Linux). When connected as a mapped drive, My Secure Backup shows up on your desktop just like a local drive. You can copy files to it in Explorer or Finder with drag & drop, edit files directly on the mapped drive, and copy files back to your machine just as easily. When used as a mapped drive you can easily move, rename, and delete files just like you were working with them on your local computer; however any change you make is actually occurring on the remote server.
  • The second option for using My Secure Backup is the automatic backup feature. The Automatic Backup feature allows you to keep files and folders on your local machine backed up automatically off-site. If you mainly want to use your online storage space for backup, the Automatic Backup feature makes it easy and eliminates the need to copy files to your mapped drive manually on a regular basis or use 3rd party backup software. Once backed up with Automatic Backup, your files will also be available via the mapped drive.

    You can easily open or copy backed up files from your mapped drive back to your local machine. If you need to restore a large number of files to your machine you can also use the built-in Restore feature that allows you to select a large number of files and directories and restore them in a single operation. The restore feature also allows you to restore previous versions of files, which are stored in a special directory.
