How to setup and run an online backup strategy

1) Subscribe to an online backup service from an online backup provider.
2) Download and install the backup software which the online backup provider will supply.
3) Run the software, and mark the files, and folders you want to backup. Also adjust any setting according to your needs, such as how often to backup. Also set passwords for encryption.

Once installed and running, the backup software will begin compressing, encrypting, and transferring backup copies of your data to the storage location of your online backup provider.
Typically backup software is set to only process and transfer data when the computer is inactive.
The first backup of all your files may take a long time if you have a large number of files. But after the initial backup, the transfer process will be faster because only new and modified data will be transferred. The backup software will continue to monitor which files have been changed, or created.

In the case you have suffered data loss, and wish to restore data from an online backup, you simply download the files from your online backup service. You can download the backup files to any computer with an internet connection.
