Backups

Backups


In the cloud, backups of all your data are always available. Your data is secured and recoverable through revisions and the snapshot feature. Additionally, you also have the option to create backups yourself.

Creating backups of your own files

As long as you have the rights, you can generate backups through the cloud. Backups are used when you have documents on your local device that are not synchronized, but still should have a backup in the cloud for security purposes.



You can use our backup feature to select files or folders that synchronize exclusively on our server. All changes you make will be synchronized on the server. If you want to restore a backup, select "Backups" on the navigation bar on the left. Select the file you need and click "Restore".

Please note that these folders should be small folders with a maximum size of 60GB to ensure synchronization of the backup.


Difference between Synchronization and Backup

Synchronization:

  • Allows remote access from anywhere and any device.
  • Creates revisions (file versions).

Backup:

  • Is a file which is not in the sync folder.
  • Is a remote backup of the file on your local PC.
  • Is stored on the server and not in the sync folder.
  • Is not accessible remotely.
  • Can be restored in the Web Cloud under "Backups".

Snapshots

If you want to restore documents from a user account or team share, you can use the Snapshot feature.

This feature allows you to restore all documents to a specific point in time.

To use the function, follow these steps:

  • 1. Open the administration view and select "Shares" to restore a team share or "Accounts" to restore a user account.

  • View Team Shares
  • 2. Click on the camera icon next to the respective name.

  • Create Snapshot
  • 3. Assign a name for the team share where the restored files will be located.
  • 4. Select the desired timeframe for the snapshot.

  • Select Timeframe
  • 5. Click YES and wait for the restoration to be successfully completed.

Please note that the restoration of files may take some time, depending on the extent and size of the files.
