Note 1: Deleting a backup set in the backup window only deletes it from the software and not from our servers. To delete a backup definition from our servers, highlight the definition within the left hand restore window and select File > Delete from server.

Note 2: If you are installing the same backup account on more than one machine then please ensure that you call each definition a different name to avoid any conflicts. For example if you have the backup software installed on your home computer and laptop and you want to backup the my documents folder you could call the definition "my documents" on the home computer and "my laptop documents" on your laptop. You should also not schedule definitions to run at the same time as each other from the same account. See scheduling a backup for further information.
