To do this, go to your SecureBackup Control Panel, go to the Advanced Settings tab, select Maintenance and click on Run – SecureBackup will rescan all of your backup folders and re-upload any deleted files.

SecureBackup does not currently have a scheduled backup option – it constantly protects your files as you work. If you change a file or add a file to the folders that you are protecting, SecureBackup will instantly upload it without interrupting you.

SecureBackup doesn’t run to a schedule – it just works in the background and constantly backs up your files as you work. Therefore you don’t need to keep your PC on overnight or worry about whether the backup ran at a certain time – your files are protected all of the time.

When you first install the SecureBackup Desktop software the welcome wizard will guide you through selecting the folders you want to backup.

Once SecureBackup is installed and running, you can add any folder to the backup list just by right clicking on it and selecting Backup with SecureBackup.

Or on a Mac, select the folders in Finder, and then select “Selected Files” > “Backup this folder” from the SecureBackup menu next to your clock at the top right of your screen. SecureBackup will then upload the contents of that folder in the background. In future SecureBackup will monitor the folder and any files you add or change will be uploaded instantly in the background as you work.

Advanced users can easily manage all of the folders you want to backup by opening the SecureBackup Settings screen in your Windows Control Panel, clicking on the Services tab and selecting “Select folders and files to backup”. From here you can manually add and remove folders to your backup.

To download the SecureBackup Desktop software simply login to your web portal, click on the Account Settings tab and select Software Download. This page will show you how to download and install the latest version – it’s very easy and literally takes minutes.

There are many things about SecureBackup that make it stand out from other backup solutions. Here are just a few of them:

Extremely easy to set up – our simple step-by-step setup wizard helps you choose which files you want to backup. It literally takes a minute, and once you’re done, you don’t need to worry about it ever again.
Backs up your files as you work – you don’t need to worry about leaving your computer on overnight, or your backup suddenly starting up at a set time when you’re trying to do something else. You certainly don’t need to remember to do anything. SecureBackup just silently backs up your files as you work, so as soon as you change a file it’s instantly protected.
Stored off-site for complete safety – unlike backing up to an external drive, CD or DVD, SecureBackup copies your files to our secure servers in our carrier-grade data centres. This means that if the worst should happen- fire or theft – your data is still securely backed up in a completely different location to your PC.
Completely unlimited storage space – you can back up as much as you want with SecureBackup. You don’t need to worry about your CD, DVD or backup tape being full – it will just keep backing up no matter how much you have on your PC.
Restore previous versions of files – sometimes a file is not lost or damaged, it’s just been changed in a way you don’t want. Maybe someone made alterations to a file and you need to restore it to a previous version. With SecureBackup you can – it stores the last 30 versions of any file, and you can download the older editions with one click.
View your backup files online from anywhere – your backups are not compressed into some obscure format or hidden in a dusty filing cabinet – they’re live online. Simply log in to your secure web portal and view them from anywhere. You can even play your music, view your Office documents, watch your movies and display your photos right from within your web browser!
