Back up to a Seagate network storage device on the home network
To prevent data loss due to hardware failure, the owner schedules regular backups of Seagate Personal Cloud
1 to Seagate Personal Cloud 2. They are both on the same local network. Alternatively, the administrator can
back up Seagate Personal Cloud 1 to a compatible third-party network storage device.
Back up to a network storage device outside the local network (offsite)
To prevent data loss due to onsite fire, flood, or theft, the owner backs up data on Seagate Personal Cloud 1
at her home to Seagate Personal Cloud 2 at a her brother's home. A compatible third-party storage device
can also act as the destination storage.
Back up to a cloud service
To prevent data loss due to onsite fire, flood, or theft, the owner backs up data on Seagate Personal Cloud 1
to her OneDrive account.
Restore
Someone at home accidentally deleted an important spreadsheet from his personal share. Fortunately, the
owner backs up to another storage solution, such as USB storage, another Seagate network storage device or
cloud storage. The owner can:
Restore a backup to revert the share to an earlier state, including the lost file.
Connect to the destination storage device from a computer and browse for the missing file. For
example, retrieve the file from a cloud storage service that hosts a Personal Cloud backup.
Create a backup
To create a backup:
1. Launch the Backup Manager app
2. Choose Backup.
3. Click Add backup to launch the Backup Wizard.
Follow the Backup Wizard to perform one of the following types of backup:
Back up your Seagate Personal Cloud to:
External storage (USB hard drive or USB flash drive)
Network storage (Seagate or third-party network storage)
Cloud storage
Back up external storage to your Seagate Personal Cloud (USB hard drive or USB flash drive).
Back up network storage to your Seagate Personal Cloud (Seagate or third-party).
Important info: The time to complete the first backup job can vary based upon the amount of
data and the speed of your network. It can take several hours or, if it is an offsite or cloud
backup, several days.
