Create a Cloud Backup Device

NovaBACKUP comes with cloud storage that you can use for your offsite backups. You can also add your own S3 cloud storage as an additional offsite destination.

Note: If your NovaBACKUP license does not include cloud storage yet, contact [e-mail]. NovaBACKUP Cloud Storage

If it's the first time using the NovaBACKUP Cloud, register your cloud account.

1. Select [Cloud Backup] from the Home tab.

2. Click [Register].

3. Fill out the requested information to create an account and click [Confirm]. - Provide a memorable username. We recommend using your email address here. - Enter your email address - Provide and confirm a Password. - Confirm your License Key is correct. - Add an encryption key that will be used to encrypt your backup data in transit and in the NovaBACKUP Cloud. Please remember it well, as we don't store this information on our end.

4. Once registered, you will see your NovaBACKUP Cloud storage in the [Device] tab as "Cloud Storage".

If you've already used your license key to create a NovaBACKUP Cloud account, you'll see an "Attach to NovaBACKUP Cloud" button instead of a "Register" button. Follow the instructions.

Once you're done registering your cloud account, go back to NovaBACKUP and set up your cloud backup job.
