Configure the Backup Software

When you run the backup software for the first time, you will be asked for your Bob the Backup username, password and encryption key. These are the same details that you provided during the account creation.

Once you have provided your account details you will be asked a series of questions that the backup software needs to run. You will be asked for your internet connection type and then for your backup schedule. You can change these settings at any time.

Backup your files

The backup software will automatically run according to the times you specified for your backup schedule. If you want to do a backup manually simply press the backup button on the backup software.

Your first backup may take a while depending on how many files you have selected for backup. Every subsequent backup will run a lot quicker as it only has to transmit the changes since your last backup.
