Cloud Backup
Description: Sign in to your SECTL account to upload data backups to the cloud and restore them anytime; the tab is available on desktop and mobile, and shows a sign-in prompt while signed out.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Account status | The SECTL account currently used for cloud sync |
| Cloud storage | Cloud storage usage for the account and for this application; open the SECTL cloud storage page in a browser to manage cloud files |
| Cloud backup contents | Select the data to include in the backup (same items as local backups) |
| Device alias | Distinguishes this device's cloud backups and appears in the cloud file names; leave empty to use this computer's name |
| Back up to the cloud now | Packages the selected data and uploads it to the cloud |
Automatic Cloud Backup
Description: Backs up to the cloud on the configured interval
- Automatic backup interval: cloud backup interval in days
- Automatic backup limit: how many of this device's cloud backups to keep; 0 means unlimited, and this device's oldest backups are removed once the limit is exceeded
- Only when the cloud space runs out are the account's oldest backups removed as well
Cloud Backup Management
Lists uploaded cloud backups that can be downloaded and restored or deleted; a download is verified before it is restored.
Note
- Cloud backup requires signing in to a SECTL account
- Cloud backups use no client-side encryption: the archive is uploaded as produced, so any device that can sign in to the account can list and restore them. Security credentials (password, TOTP, USB binding) are never included
- Backups uploaded by the removed encryption feature stay listed but are marked as legacy encrypted and cannot be restored — only viewed or deleted
