Introduction
This F-Secure Online Backup guide describes and explains how you can use it.
What is F-Secure Online Backup?
The F-Secure Online Backup program is a software application, which you can use to back up and restore
your pictures, videos, music, e-mail messages, and other documents.
The F-Secure Online Backup program works on the Internet, which means that you have virtually unlimited
space available for your data. Stored remotely, the data is in many ways more secure than if stored on your
computer's hard drive.
You can access your remotely stored data also through the Internet and view, play, and download your files.
How does the program work?
You can have the F-Secure Online Backup program automatically select the important files for you and back
them up, or you can manually select the files for the backup.
The files are backed up to a secure server on the Internet.The automatic backup is a continuous process that
works in the background. The program watches for any changes in files on your computer and adds them
automatically to the backup. Later on, you can restore any file from the backup to your computer. You can
restore all your files automatically, or you can manually select the files for restoring

If you have selected automatic backup, the F-Secure Online Backup program starts to back up your files
when you open the application. It searches your computer for office documents, pictures and videos, e-mail
messages, Internet Explorer favorites, and files in the My Documents folder and on your desktop. The backup
process runs in the background. The backup speed may vary depending on the following:
• what is the type and speed of your Internet connection

•Original locations: Restores the files into their original folders.
Note: About restoring system files, please refer to section What if I restore the backup to another
computer?
• To select another folder, select the option next to the empty field, and click the Browse button. Select
this option to compare the files in the backup with the local files on your computer before deciding
which files to keep
6. Under 'Overwriting rules', select which files you want to overwrite:
•Overwrite local files only if they are older: Keeps the latest file (local or backup file).

F-Secure Online Backup Help | F-Secure Online Backup Help | 15

What if I restore the backup to another computer?
You may sometimes want to restore a backup to another computer than the one that you used to create the
backup.
Keep in mind the following when restoring the files: After you have installed the F-Secure Online Backup
program to a second computer with the same subscription key, e-mail address and password, no files are
being backed up on the first computer anymore.
Caution: If you include system files in the backup, and restore the files on another computer, the computer
may stop working. This happens when the computer's own system files are overwritten if you select to
restore the system files in the original locations. If you want to restore system files to another computer
in Windows OS, remember to select a folder other than Windows or Documents and Settings for
restoring the files.
When you restore backed up files from one operating system to another, you must select a target folder.
Restoring the files in the original location causes an error.
In Mac OS, the system files are located in the /system folder. When restoring backed up files in Mac
OS, do not select the /system folder. In general, we do not recommend restoring Windows OS system
files to Mac OS or vice versa, because the system files are useless in a wrong operating system. Also,
they unnecessarily fill up the bandwidth.

Changing the backup settings
This chapter explains how you can change the backup settings on the Settings tab.
Changing general settings
To change the general settings, see below.
Launch at startup
This option is selected by default, and we strongly recommend that you keep it selected.
When this option is selected, the application opens automatically when you log into your computer. This
makes sure that whenever the files change on your computer or new files are added, they are regularly
updated in the backup.
Show hidden files
This option is turned off by default and no hidden files are included in the backup.
If you select the Show hidden files option, hidden files become visible on your computer and they are included
in the backup. Software applications create hidden files to store:
• session settings,
• file caches,
• folder view options, and
• other temporary files.
They are sometimes useful, but unnecessary in the long run. They do not have to be backed up. Applications
can create them again if needed.
Allow the backup of system files
If you select the Show hidden files option, you can also select whether system files are included in the
backup.
By default, this option is turned off and no system files are included in the backup. In Windows OS, system
files are located in the Windows folder and Documents and Settings folder. In Mac OS the system files are
located in the /system folder.To include system files in the backup, select the Allow the backup of system
files option.
Caution: If you include system files in the backup, and restore the files on another computer, the computer
may stop working. This happens if the computer's own system files are overwritten. This happens if you
select to restore the system files in the original locations. If you want to restore system files to another
computer in Windows OS, remember to select a folder other than Windows or Documents and Settings
for restoring the files.
In Mac OS, the system files are located in the /system folder. When restoring backed up files in Mac
OS, do not select the /system folder. In general, we do not recommend restoring Windows OS system
files to Mac OS or vice versa, because the system files are useless in a wrong operating system. Also,
they unnecessarily fill up the bandwidth.
Receiving e-mail reports
You can select if you want to receive reports by e-mail.
In the 'E-mail reports' list, you can select to receive by e-mail either a weekly backup report or no report at
all.
Note: In the F-Secure Online Backup web interface, you can add an e-mail address to which you want
recieve the reports. You can use this additional e-mail address only for receiving the reports.
F-Secure Online Backup Help | F-Secure Online Backup Help | 17

Setting up computer performance and backup speed
To set up the computer performance and backup speed, see below.
You can select one of the following options:
• Performance: If you select the Use more computer resources option, F-Secure Online Backup uses all
the resources that it needs for backing up the files.
On a faster computer, this may greatly increase the backup speed. On a computer with limited resources,
using the more computer resources may slow down the Internet connection or the whole computer.
If you have a rather new computer, you may want to try this option. However, if you notice that selecting
this option slows down your computer, you can always turn off the option.
• Preferred upload speed: From the Preferred upload speed drop-down menu, you can select a speed at
which you want to have your files backed up.
Note: The preferred upload speed in the drop-down menu is defined in kilobytes per second (KB/s).
For example, if you select 50KB/s, it equals 400 kb/s (kilobits per second).
Saving version history
If you modify local office documents that have already been backed up, you can select whether the modified
versions are also included in the backup.
You can do this by selecting or clearing the Save changed documents option under 'Save version history
of office documents'.
Note: The Save changed documents option applies only to office documents.
By default, the Save changed documents option is cleared. It means that modified documents replace the
previous versions in the backup. In this way, the latest version is always included in the backup.
To save version history:
1. Select the Save changed documents option. The latest version and a certain number of previous versions
are all included in the backup.
2. Select the number of versions you want to keep in the 'Maximum number of versions to save' list.
For example, if you select 3, the original document and two previous versions of it are included in the
backup.
If you often make a lot of changes in many files, we recommend that you do not select this option. The
size of your backup may easily grow, and restoring may take longer.
Preserving deleted files in the backup
Under Remove excluded or deleted files from the backup, the After 30 days option is selected by default.
This means that if you delete files on your computer, they are still kept in the backup for 30 days. In this way,
you can restore deleted files later. You can change the number of days the files are kept in the backup.
If you select the Immediately option, after deleting a file on your computer, the file is also deleted in the
backup.
Changing proxy settings
In the proxy settings section, you can edit the existing proxy settings, or set up a new proxy to connect to the
Internet via an HTTP proxy.
To change the proxy settings:
18 | F-Secure Online Backup Help | F-Secure Online Backup Help

a) Address - a URL or an IP address for the proxy server. For example: "proxy.isp.com", or "98.20.10.25".
b) Port - A port that the proxy server listens to. You can enter a custom port number, for example, 8080.
If no port number is entered, the default port (3128) is used.
c) Login - The login name is set by the administrator. It is related to authenticating the user on the proxy
server. If you do not know the login name, please contact your administrator.
d) Password - In some cases, there may not be any password. If there is, it has been set by the
administrator. If you do not know the password, please contact your administrator.
5. Click OK.
Restoring the original settings
You can restore the original settings.
To restore original settings:
Click the Reset button.
The original settings are restored.

What should I do if backing up takes too long?
When you back up the files for the first time, it can take several days or even a few weeks.
After the initial backup, you can speed up and optimize the backup process with a few simple tweaks, depending
on the settings on your computer:
• Using more computer resources and selecting the preferred upload speed
If you are using a relatively new computer, try backing up your files using more computer resources. If
this slows down your computer's performance, you can turn off the Use more computer resources option.
From the Preferred upload speed drop-down menu, you can select a speed at which you want your files
to be uploaded.
• Change the backup selection
If you have turned on many categories ('Office Documents', 'Pictures and Videos' or 'Music') and many
folders and files in the 'E-mails' and 'My important files' categories, the backup speed may slow down.
The speed is not related to the size of the files, but to the number of files. Depending on the performance
of your computer or the speed of your Internet connection, if you select tens or hundreds of thousands of
files for backup, the backup process may slow down your computer. Try turning off some categories or
removing some files or folders from the backup selection.
