Getting Started¶
UKFast Backup can be managed by selecting the server you want to manage within MyUKFast and selecting “Backup” from the tab menu.
Overview provides information on your total, used and available backup quota and provides quick access to perform a full restore.
Running jobs is only visible when a backup or restore job is currently being processed.
Warning
Please note that Windows backups must wait for a system state to run on the client before files will begin to process, this often takes up to 20 minutes.
