- Changing the files/folders that are backed up in CloudLive Backup
To set up your backup software:
Go to 'Manage Backups' and select which folders you want CloudLive to automatically backup.
To add a folder to the backup selection:
On a Windows PC:
- Right click on a folder
- Select 'CloudLive' -> 'Backup with CloudLive Backup'
On a Mac:
- Select a folder
- Click on the CloudLive icon
- 'Selected files' -> 'Backup this folder'
To review or modify the list of files or folders that are being backed up, go to 'Manage Backups'.
In the new window, you can check or uncheck the boxes of the folders you wish to add or remove. (You will need to select 'Apply' to save your selection.)
Any files removed from your backup selection will be marked as deleted online, and will be held for 30 days before being permanently removed from our servers. This allows you to restore deleted files within the 30 day period if needed.
