Note on computer backups: You can back up your computers to the Seagate Personal Cloud.

Backup applications such as Seagate Dashboard (Windows), Windows File History and Apple
Time Machine manage how the computer backups are performed. Use your preferred backup
application and choose a shared folder on your Seagate Personal Cloud as the destination for the
computer backup. When performing a backup to a private share, make certain that a user can
access the share. For more information, see Back up.

Restore

Restore a backup that has been performed on the Backup page.

Sync

Choose one or more folders on your Seagate Personal Cloud to sync with your cloud storage account. Cloud
services supported by Sync include:
Baidu
Dropbox
Google Drive
OneDrive

Network Backup disk

Enable Network Backup so that other Seagate Personal Cloud or Seagate network storage devices can back
up to your primary Seagate Personal Cloud.
Important info on backups: It is recommended that all users back up data to a USB storage

device, another network storage device or cloud storage as further protection against a missing
hard drive or secondary points of failure (e.g. hardware, network, etc.)
Note on backup job order: To conserve processing resources, the Seagate Personal Cloud runs

one job at time. If more than one job is scheduled for the same time or started manually, Backup
Manager places them in a queue.

Back up to a USB storage device

An owner keeps important files on her private share. Since remote access is not always available when she
travels, the owner backs up her share to a portable USB storage device.
