3 1. What is Cloud PC Backup? Cloud PC Backup is a secure and reliable backup solution for your business needs. Through the easy-touse Cloud PC Backup client interface, you can customize your file selection and backup scheduling. The Cloud PC Backup service saves 90 days of data history for each file you back up. In the event that you need to restore files (in the case of computer failure, loss, etc.), Cloud PC Backup makes it easy to recover the data via client or via the web if you don t have access to your computer anymore. Cloud PC Backup encrypts your data locally before it is sent to the data centers over an SSL connection. Your backups are then stored in the data center with either 448-bit Blowfish or 256-bit AES encryption to ensure your data is protected. Cloud PC Backup also enables you to view your backed up files from your mobile devices. Applications, available on Play Store and on the App Store, will bring your most important files along with your smartphone. You will always have the most important files of your PC at your disposal.
