How to get unlimited
free cloud backup storage
Select a proper
backup solution
For this tutorial, I’ve chosen CloudBacko Free
(free.cloudbacko.com) simply because:
• It’s FREE!
• It combines Unlimited cloud storage accounts of
Google Drive and Dropbox into one unlimited big
space!
• It encrypts the data and filenames locally before
storing on the cloud
• You can retrieve backup data anytime, anywhere,
with a web browser!
Combine all cloud drives into one
Need a big cloud space for backup? CloudBacko Free combines all your cloud
drives into a big space. You can always add new accounts to the space when
needed, making it unlimited in size.
Backup through web browser
Everything from backup to restore is done through your web browser. No
software is required. Thus, you can perform backup and restore anytime,
anywhere.
Everything encrypted
All your data as well as filenames will be encrypted on your machines before
storing on the cloud. Thus, no one, not even NSA, is able to read your backed up
data stored on the cloud.
Lightning fast
CloudBacko’s speed boosting incremental backup and multi-thread technologies
allows backup to be done lightning fast after the initial full backup.
Keeping unlimited versions forever
You are able to define how long the historical versions of your data you need to
keep. Those versions can be kept forever if needed.
Crystal clear reports
CloudBacko’s reports give you crystal clear visibility into the backup details of all
destinations, including usage trend, backup and restore reports, log for warnings
and errors, etc.
How it works
First of all, you need to create a new backup
set. A backup set is for defining a set of data
that you need to backup. Click the [Backup
Sets] button.
Click [Add new backup set] button.
Give this backup set a customized name if
needed. Then click [Next].
You can select the common folders listed
here as the backup source.
Or, you can click the circled link to
choose other files as backup source.
Choose the folders and / or files to backup.
Then, you need to set up the destinations.
We recommend to create a local backup
destination for fast backup and restore.
Select the path of this local destination.
When completed, the chosen destination will be
listed under "Existing destinations".
Then, we can add a cloud destination,
e.g. Dropbox.
Select [Dropbox] from the list, and modify the
name of this destination if needed.
Click the [Test] button.
A new web browser window will be opened for
signing in to Dropbox. Input your credentials to
sign-in.
Click [Allow] to grant CloudBacko the access to
your Dropbox account.
Select the provided code and copy it (Ctrl + C).
Switch to CloudBacko's browser window. Paste
to code to the input field as shown.
Done. Dropbox is added. Now you have two
backup destinations.
If you want to get more cloud storage space for
backup, you can group multiple cloud
destinations as one. No upper limit!
One method is click one of the newly created
cloud destination, i.e. Dropbox.
Click the [Convert to a new destination group].
A new destination group is created, and your
Dropbox is moved to this destination group.
To add another cloud storage to this group,
simply click the [Add] button.
For example, you can add a Google Drive
account to it.
Click [Accept] to grant CloudBacko the access
to your Google Drive account.
Copy the code provided (Ctrl + C).
Paste the code into CloudBacko's provided
input field.
Okay, you have 2 free cloud storage services
grouped as one.
You can add as many free cloud storage as
needed, even different accounts of the same
service providers, e.g. Google Drive as
illustrated.
When completed, the destination group will be
shown under the list of "Existing destinations".
The destination group will be treated as one
destination, with all the storage space
consolidated as one.
As you have more than one destinations, you can
select [Sequential] or [Concurrent] backup to these
destinations.
Then, we need to setup the encryption. It is highly
recommended to turn on the encryption for cloud
backup, so as to encrypt all your data and filenames
before storing on the cloud. The default encryption
method is good enough.
If you need to define your own encryption
setting, select the [Custom] encryption type.
Okay, your backup set is created successfully.
You can run a backup by clicking the [Backup
now] button below.
You can choose where
and how to backup in this
page, and click the
[Backup] button when
ready.
Backup to a local destination will be very fast.
However, it will take more time for backing up
to the cloud.
When backup completed, you can click the
report icon as indicated to ready the status
report.
Everything done by CloudBacko is logged here.
Alternatively, you can click the [Report] button
in the frontpage.
The reports of all the backup jobs will be shown
here. Click on each row to read the details.
Here are the details of the selected backup job.
You can click the [View log] button to read the
more detailed logs.
