To change which folders you back up, just follow the steps below:

• Open Cloud Backup.
• Click the Settings tab.
• Choose Backup Selection.
• All of the folders that are to be backed up are highlighted green. To add another, press Add another folder…
• Find the folder you want to add and click Add.

To remove a folder, just untick the box next to the folder’s name. The next time you back-up, any folders you’ve unticked will be deleted from the Cloud.

Cloud Backup works in the background and checks for new updates every hour. If it finds any new or changed documents, it backs them up.

You can change how often it backs up by opening Settings > Backup Selection > Manage Schedule. Choose how often you want Cloud Backup to backup and press Apply.

You can only use Cloud Backup to backup emails that are stored on your computer, so it only works with desktop-based email clients like Outlook or Exchange.

Accounts like Hotmail and Gmail automatically save your emails online, so you don’t need to worry about losing those.

Somewhere on your computer will be a file that your emails are saved in. You just need to make sure it’s selected for backup and all of your emails will be saved.

Backing up your PC, particularly for the first time, can take quite a long time. It depends on how big the file sizes are, how big the files are, and how fast your internet speed is.

Once your first backup is finished, backing up individual folders or files won’t take long.

If you delete a file from your computer, it’s also deleted from Cloud Backup.

However, if you want to recover something you’ve accidentally deleted, you have 30 days to get it back. To recover files, follow the steps below.

• Open Cloud Backup.
• Click the Restore tab.
• Find the file you deleted.
• Click Restore in the ‘Action’ column.
• Choose where you want to save it to and press Restore.

To save files in the Cloud but permanently remove them from your computer, move the files you want to keep into your Online Drive.

Automatic renewal can't be turned off. We do this to stop you from forgetting to renew your account and accidentally losing all of the files you’ve backed up.

This is outlined in the terms of use for Currys Cloud Backup.

The only way to stop automatic renewal is to close your account. You can do that by contacting us.

We only accept payment for Cloud Backup from Visa or MasterCard, and any other card types get auto-declined.

If a Visa or MasterCard payment fails, we won't be able to find out why, and we'd advise speaking to your bank.

If you're running out of space, you can easily upgrade your account to one with more storage. However, you can't currently downgrade to one with less.

Upgrade

To upgrade to a package with more storage, log into your account and click on Account, followed by Change plan.

If you just want to back-up from another computer, add a NAS drive, or need more Briefcase space, you can do it in the ‘Add ons’ section of the Currys Cloud Backup website.

Downgrade

Currently, you can’t downgrade to an account with less storage.

The only thing you can do is cancel your account and take out a new one. However, everything you’ve backed up will be permanently deleted. If you do this, make sure everything you want to keep is backed up somewhere else.

To cancel your account or get more info, get in touch with us.
