Backing up data to the online repository

After you create a backup set, you can copy data to the online repository. This process runs in the background and does not slow down your system.

To back up data:

1.	Make sure you are connected to the Internet and logged into your backup account.

2.	If you have not already done so, create a backup set (see Creating an online backup set).

3.	Click Backup Now either from the Main screen or from the Backup tab.

A dialog window opens and shows the progress of the backup. The files are compressed first, then copied to the online repositories. The time required for the backup depends on how many files you selected, the capacity of the files, and the speed of your Internet connection.
