Back up files

Backup Manager is software you install on your PC that copies files you choose in your setup of Store & Share account on a regular basis.

If you make any changes to these selected files or add more files to a folder, you don't need to worry about uploading again, at the next scheduled time the Backup Manager will update your files in your Store & Share account automatically as long as your PC is connected to the Internet.

If you want to add more folders to the amount to be automatically updated, you can do so from within the Backup Manager.

Functionality

When the Backup Manager runs an auto update of your chosen files, it will only update or upload new or altered files, it wont delete any missing files from your PC from your Store & Share account.

You can access the backed up files in your Store & Share account from any computer by using a web browser to log into your account. You can also use Backup Manager to restore files from Store & Share to your computer, should you need to.

The Backup Manager setup file that you download is approximately 4MB in size. To run the Backup Manager at its optimal performance, you will require approximately 16.7MB of disk space once installed.

Alternatively, if you have a Starter account, you will need to manually upload the file again in the Upload section online.

You can upload files directly to your account from any computer connected to the Internet. Simply log in to Store & Share, go to Upload and start uploading your personal files.
