Backing up any computer

With the web-based Online Dashboard, you can back up any computer (PC or Mac) that shares the same Acronis account.

If a device is not yet protected, you can back up it by using the default settings. Acronis True Image 2016 will back up the entire contents of the device (for example, an entire PC backup) to Acronis Cloud. These default settings cannot be changed with the web app. If you need to customize the settings, start Acronis True Image 2016 on this device and configure the backup manually.

To back up any computer:

1. Open Online Dashboard at: https://cloud.acronis.com.
2. Sign in with your Acronis account.
3. On the Devices tab, find the device that you want to back up. If the device is offline, make sure that it is turned on and connected to the Internet.
4. Perform one of the following:
   • If the device was backed up before, click Back up now.

     Acronis True Image 2016 creates a new backup version in accordance with the configured backup scheme.

   • If the device has not yet been backed up, click Enable backup, wait until the backup is auto-configured, and then click Back up now.

     Acronis True Image 2016 creates a new full backup and uploads it to Acronis Cloud.
