5 LOGGING OFF Logging off of your Cloud PC is important as it closes the portal into the server. Not only does it keep your data more secure, but every time you log off the system, the data is backed up. At 4:00 am Atlantic Time a full backup will take place of all changes throughout the day and duplicated on a redundant server. To log off click the Start icon and then click Sign Out or Log Off depending on your version of Cloud PC. We ask that you please do try and log off when you will not be using the session for an extended period of time.
