    Hi All.
    I am using Nova backup and Acronis, I have an account with BT Cloud, what I want to know is how do I get my backups onto BT cloud, Nova only gives 2 cloud backup options, but not BT, I just want to upload to BT Cloud,
    HELP :confused

    HI

    Sadly many backup applications will only use their own backup cloud options so you have a few options here

    1. Backup locally to your PC and then copy the backup to BT Cloud (I have BT Cloud what came with my service and its 2GB only, so hope that is enough for your needs or if you have paid for more) I just checked something and I have BTSync in my Explorer list and it has a folder branch here C:\Users\[your user name]\BT Cloud Sync could direct your backup app to that folder

    2. You could get OneDrive (5GB as standard free but loads of free upgrades at present for using various options, and the XXGB upgrades are either for life or 1yr) And when OneDrive is installed you get a listing in Windows Explorer as it has a folder saved locally, so knowing where this folder is you can set your backup software to save the backups to a OneDrive folder thus uploading it to the "cloud"​
    Although in both instances you will have a local and cloud version of the backups, but then that's not a bad thing.

    Sadly only option I can think of at present, but do tell us what Windows version and Service Pack you are using?
