Introduction

This F-Secure Online Backup guide describes and explains how you can use it.

What is F-Secure Online Backup?

The F-Secure Online Backup program is a software application, which you can use to back up and restore

your pictures, videos, music, e-mail messages, and other documents.

The F-Secure Online Backup program works on the Internet, which means that you have virtually unlimited

space available for your data. Stored remotely, the data is in many ways more secure than if stored on your

computer's hard drive.

You can access your remotely stored data also through the Internet and view, play, and download your files.

How does the program work?

You can have the F-Secure Online Backup program automatically select the important files for you and back

them up, or you can manually select the files for the backup.

The files are backed up to a secure server on the Internet.The automatic backup is a continuous process that

works in the background. The program watches for any changes in files on your computer and adds them

automatically to the backup. Later on, you can restore any file from the backup to your computer. You can

restore all your files automatically, or you can manually select the files for restoring

Using the program for the first time

This chapter explains what to do when you start using the F-Secure Online Backup program.

files.

2. Click Continue.

The Enter your account information window opens.

3. In the Enter your account information window, do the following:

a) Enter your e-mail address.

available bandwidth, and the amount of data.

We recommend that you leave your computer turned on overnight, until the initial backup is completed.

To start the first backup:

1. Enter a name for the backup to help identify it later. You may need the name if you move the backup to

another computer.

What is backed up in automatic backup?

messages, Internet Explorer favorites, and files in the My Documents folder and on your desktop. The backup

process runs in the background. The backup speed may vary depending on the following:
