Downloading the Software

After clicking on “Download” the installation will begin automatically. When prompted, choose “Open”. (Alternatively, you may choose to save the installation program to your computer and to install at a later time, but most users choose “Open”)


After the installer has installed onto your computer, follow the simple installation instructions. You will be taken through the simple steps necessary to register an account. You will be prompted to pick an encryption key (required) and a password (optional, we suggest you leave it blank).

After downloading , your first comprehensive backup will take a long time proportional to the amount of data you have. After the first backup, using ’s block differential technology, your files are scanned, and only the files that have changed since your last backup are transmitted. With our Online Storage Restart Technology, you may stop or delay the backup at anytime if you need to use your computer. When resumed, the backup will continue to send any previously unsent files.

Using this technology, all backups after your initial backup are quick and efficient. Often these backups take no more than a few minutes. Without this technology, your backups would take many hours or even days.
