Get started using Norton Cloud Backup
Cloud Backup stores and protect important files and documents as a preventative measure to data loss due to hard drive failures, stolen devices and even ransomware.
Norton Cloud Backup is available only on Windows.
Before running Norton Cloud Backup, create a backup set that specifies what files you want to back up. You can also specify where you want the files to be backed up and when you want the backup to run. You can backup files to the cloud using Norton Cloud Backup or to your own external drives.
The first time you run a backup, Norton may take some time to examine and copy all the files on your computer. If your Internet connection is slow, the process may take longer.
Norton does not back up your files automatically if the backup destination is Local Backup. Backing up to local storage devices needs your intervention.
