Wi-Fi networks for backup to Acronis Cloud

Location: Settings > Wi-Fi networks for backup

When you back up your data to Acronis Cloud, you can be concerned about the security of your personal data when it is transferred by unprotected Wi-Fi networks. To avoid the risk of theft of your personal data, we strongly recommend that you only use protected Wi-Fi networks.

To protect your data

1. On the sidebar, click Settings > Wi-Fi networks for backup, and then click Set networks.
2. In the Wi-Fi networks for backup window which contains all currently available and saved unavailable Wi-Fi networks, select the check boxes next to the networks that you want to use to back up your data.

When the networks are selected and your computer loses a connection to any of them, all current backups are paused and scheduled backups will not start. Once the computer connects to any of these networks, the suspended backups will be resumed. The scheduled backups that have been missed because of this setting will be started as well.

To back up your data by using a new Wi-Fi network, simply select it in the Wi-Fi networks for backup window. This can be done whenever you need to use new network.

Local mobile backups do not depend on this setting. Your mobile data is backed up to local storage on your computer, as usual.
