Cloud backup configured so your important files are automatically backed up to the internet. Even if your computer dies, gets stolen, or your house burns down, everything's safely stored online and accessible from anywhere.
### The Backup That Survives Anything
External hard drives are great until **your house floods** or gets burgled. Then both your computer AND your backup are gone.
Cloud backup stores everything on the internet. House fire? Burglary? Toddler pours juice on your laptop? Your files are fine.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cloud backup isn't just for disasters - it's brilliant for accessing your files from anywhere. Need that document on your phone? It's there.

Good to Know
> ☁️ **Already paying for cloud storage?** Loads of people pay for services they don't use properly. I'll check what you've got and set it up before recommending you buy anything else. **Photos taking up all your space?** Most phones backup photos automatically to cloud storage. If yours doesn't, I can set that up - means you can delete photos off your phone to free up space. **Worried about privacy?** All major cloud services encrypt your data. I can also set up end-to-end encrypted storage if you're storing sensitive stuff, but it's more complex. **Multiple people in your house?** Family sharing plans are usually cheaper than everyone having separate accounts. I can set this up so everyone's stuff is backed up but private from each other.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cloud backup setup in Tiverton
What's the difference between cloud backup and an external hard drive?
External drive sits in your house - if there's a fire or burglary, it's gone too. Cloud backup is stored on the internet, so even if your house burns down, your files are safe. Downside is you usually pay monthly and need internet to access stuff.
Which cloud service should I use?
Depends what you've already got. iPhone users usually use iCloud. Google/Android users often use Google Drive. Microsoft Office subscribers get OneDrive free. I'll recommend what makes sense for you - no point paying for something you already have.
Will this use loads of my internet?
First upload is big and slow - could take days if you've got years of photos. After that it's just new/changed files, which is barely noticeable. I can set it to only backup when you're not using the internet if you're on a slow connection.
How much does cloud storage cost?
Usually £2-10 per month depending how much space you need. 200GB is often enough for most people (photos, documents). You might already have some free with your phone plan - I'll check before recommending you buy more.
Can I access my files from my phone once this is set up?
Yes - that's one of the best bits. Photos, documents, everything accessible from phone, tablet, or any computer. Really handy when you're out and need to show someone something.
