some questions about cloud storage

Thread needs solution

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

Hello J,

thank you for your posting!

You'll be able to restore your files on any machine regardless of where they were backed up from. Just log in to your account and select "Cloud Backup - For Home"

And for backing up to Cloud using Acronis True Image for Mac you'll need to create a separate task.

Thank you.

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,
