10How it works
11First of all, you need to create a new backup
set. A backup set is for defining a set of data
that you need to backup. Click the Backup Sets
button.
12Click Add new backup set button.
13Give this backup set a customized name if needed.
Then click Next.
14You can select the common folders listed here as
the backup source.
15Or, you can click the circled link to choose
other files as backup source.
16Choose the folders and / or files to backup.
17Then, you need to set up the destinations.
18We recommend to create a local backup destination
for fast backup and restore.
19Select the path of this local destination.
20When completed, the chosen destination will be
listed under "Existing destinations".
21Then, we can add a cloud destination, e.g.
Dropbox.
22Select Dropbox from the list, and modify the
name of this destination if needed.
23Click the Test button.
24A new web browser window will be opened for
signing in to Dropbox. Input your credentials to
sign-in.
25Click Allow to grant CloudBacko the access to
your Dropbox account.
26Select the provided code and copy it (Ctrl C).
27Switch to CloudBacko's browser window. Paste to
code to the input field as shown.
28Done. Dropbox is added. Now you have two backup
destinations.
29If you want to get more cloud storage space for
backup, you can group multiple cloud destinations
as one. No upper limit! One method is click one
of the newly created cloud destination, i.e.
Dropbox.
30Click the Convert to a new destination group.
31A new destination group is created, and your
Dropbox is moved to this destination group.
32To add another cloud storage to this group,
simply click the Add button.
33For example, you can add a Google Drive account
to it.
34Click Accept to grant CloudBacko the access to
your Google Drive account.
35Copy the code provided (Ctrl C).
36Paste the code into CloudBacko's provided input
field.
37Okay, you have 2 free cloud storage services
grouped as one.
38You can add as many free cloud storage as needed,
even different accounts of the same service
providers, e.g. Google Drive as illustrated.
39When completed, the destination group will be
shown under the list of "Existing destinations".
The destination group will be treated as one
destination, with all the storage space
consolidated as one.
40As you have more than one destinations, you can
select Sequential or Concurrent backup to
these destinations.
41Then, we need to setup the encryption. It is
highly recommended to turn on the encryption for
cloud backup, so as to encrypt all your data and
filenames before storing on the cloud. The
default encryption method is good enough.
42If you need to define your own encryption
setting, select the Custom encryption type.
43Okay, your backup set is created successfully.
44You can run a backup by clicking the Backup now
button below.
45You can choose where and how to backup in this
page, and click the Backup button when ready.
46Backup to a local destination will be very fast.
However, it will take more time for backing up to
the cloud.
47When backup completed, you can click the report
icon as indicated to ready the status report.
48Everything done by CloudBacko is logged here.

in the frontpage.
