Add a cloud destination

This article applies to all products.png

Overview

In the CrashPlan app, you can back up your files to either a destination that is local (for example, an external drive on your device), or to a destination in the CrashPlan cloud. Backing up to multiple destinations, both onsite and offsite, helps protect you from data loss. Perform the following steps to back up to a cloud destination.

Considerations

This article assumes you have permission to manage your backup destinations. Your administrator may prevent destination management.
