some questions about cloud storage
hi, can I retrieve files from cloud storage on to my windows PC if they were backed up from my mac? And is backing up to the cloud a separate job or an optional addition of an existing backup set? For instance, if I already have a backup running is it simply a case of having that backup sent to the cloud storage as well as my local backup drive?
thanks

I am brand new to Acronis and completely frustrated trying to figure out how to use the cloud for syncing files. I downloaded Acronis True Image for Mac and created a basic image of my SSD. Easy enough .... HOWEVER,
When purchasing Acronis Cloud 1T - I was told I could sync files. My wife and I travel and need access to libraries of images and client files and contracts.
UPDATE ON QUESTION 1 & 2. - I think I found my cloud access by accident- title says "Acronis Cloud"
1) I need to know how to access the cloud - What is the web address?
2) Is there some sort of Mac dashboard or control panel to access my info?
3) How do I put the files in the cloud?
4) I saw help info on local access versus cloud access… What do I need to know about the 2 areas. (local / cloud)?
5) I will need to download an image (from the second Mac) for the 3rd Mac because the hard drive was wiped clean. I am in the process of installing OS 10.9.3 on it. - The other 2 macs but has OSX 10.9.3
The image will be made from my wife’s mac - It has 2 profiles on it. Will both profiles be copied or imaged and will an install put both profiles on the computer with the clean SSD?
6) I installed the Acronis True Image for Mac on my computer. Do I need to install the app on both profiles in my wife’s computer and make images of each profile? This does not seem right but I better ask the question. ??
Keeping the True Image up-to-date is important to me only to eliminate resetting all the settings and making sure all the programs are intact with their application support and plist files. I have a local storage set up for our files on an external drive, and I want to put important files and pictures in the cloud not only for easy access and synchronization but to protect them as a b/u also.
PLEASE Point me in the right direction. I want to get started ASAP.

Hi Rick,
thank you for your post.
Correct me, if I have understood you wrong:
you are going to restore an image of one Mac to another Mac.
If that is the case, then the correct direction would be:
-to create backup of a Mac to an external HD or to share
-create Acronis Bootable Media
-boot the Mac with wiped drive to Acronis Bootable Media
-restore from the created backup
Please let us know, if any questions.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
