User Guide User Manual

Depending on your settings, this backup will be either full or incremental. But its size is not likely to

be less than a full backup size. Therefore, it is not practical to reassign a subscription to a machine

whose first backup was done as an initial seeding. You will need to either redo the initial seeding

(which requires a new license) or to transfer the sizeable backup over the Internet.

All earlier created backups remain intact. You can delete them manually if necessary. Keep in mind

though, backups can be deleted from a subscription only by the machine to which the subscription is

assigned. In our example, you have the following options.

Before reassigning

Delete backups from Subscription 1 using Machine 1 (if it is available and turned on). Delete backups

from Subscription 2 using Machine 2.

After reassigning

Delete backups from Subscription 1 using Machine 2. You cannot delete backups from Subscription 2,

unless you assign this subscription to any machine.

6 Backup to the cloud storage

This section provides step-by-step instructions for backing up data from a machine to the cloud

storage.

These instructions focus on the following typical scenario:

 Daily backup of important files, and deleting backups older than one month. See "Backing up an

individual machine" (p. 23).

 Monthly backup of the operating system and installed programs, with the first (large) backup

being sent on a hard drive; and deleting backups older than six months. See "Backing up using

Initial Seeding" (p. 23).
