Updated: Oct 7, 2023

Cloud data backups are a convenient, secure, and scalable way to protect your data. In our experience, cloud backups are the best way to protect data in most environments.



If you're looking for a reliable way to backup your data, consider Smarter Home and Business for your cloud backup solution. Our service is tailored to your needs. We understand that one size does not fit all and that is why we work with multiple of the top rated cloud backup providers!


Step 1:

The first step is understanding that you need to have a backup to make sure your irreplaceable photos, documents, files, and memories are never lost.


There are many different types of backup solutions to choose from and they're not a one size fits. Some factors to consider include:


What devices do you need to back up: What types of devices are you wanting to backup? Is it a personal computer, a cellphone, a business computer, a server, or multiple devices?

Operating System:Do you most often use Android, Google, iOS, Mac, Windows or a mixture of the batch?

Security: What security features do you need?

Backup frequency: How often do you need your data to be backed up?

Restore options: How quickly do you need access to your data in the event of a loss?

Step 2:


Once you've chosen a provider, you'll need to install their backup software on your device. The software will typically allow you to choose which files and folders you want to back up, and how often you want the backups to run.


Step 3: Configure the backup schedule


Once the software is installed, you'll need to configure the backup schedule. You can typically choose to back up your data continuously, on a schedule, or on demand.


Continuous backup: This is the most comprehensive type of backup, as it backs up your data as it changes.

Scheduled backup: This type of backup backs up your data on a regular schedule, such as once a day or once a week.

On-demand backup: This type of backup allows you to back up your data manually whenever you want.

Step 4: Start the backups


Once you've configured the backup schedule, you can start the backups. The software will automatically back up your data according to the schedule that you've chosen.


Step 5: Manage your backups


Once your backups are running, you'll need to manage them periodically. This includes tasks such as:


Monitoring the backup logs to make sure that the backups are running successfully.

Testing your backups to make sure that you can restore your data in the event of a loss.

Deleting old backups to free up storage space as needed.

Step 6:

Feel relief knowing that all of your digital treasures are safe. No broken device, natural disaster, or water damage can take that away from you!
