http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPEPHmMg4ko
Secured Remote Online MyBackup allows users to create backups online (cloud), on
Backup (Cloud) our secured servers. This will provide a remote location of
storage for your backup, and it will be able to be retrieved from
the same or a different device with correct login credentials
(PIN and Password).
In the case of a lost phone, your information will still be
retrievable, whereas with an SD Card backup only, it will be
lost with the phone. Same case for a corrupt\damaged SD Card.
When a backup to Online is complete, you will receive a dialog
showing you the PIN and Password for your device. Each
device will have a different PIN and Password. To access your
backup, you will need this information, so please write it down
or email it to yourself.
You can also email yourself the PIN and Password by running
MyBackup and clicking the Menu button, then select Email
PIN, input your email address and hit send.
Each user has a limited amount of space on our secured servers,
if you need more space, contact our support team at
[email protected]
All data transmitted over the internet to our servers is encrypted
using HTTPS SSL.
SD Card backup This feature allows users to create a backup of Data or
Application install APK files onto their Memory Card storage
(currently SD Cards).
