Cloud backup that keeps your
data safe and private
Data security across devices
The more we rely on technology, the more we risk something going wrong. Any device can be stolen, damaged, or lost, not to mention hackers and data surveillance. But when you store your files on an end-to-end encrypted cloud, you and your files remain safe at all times.
Why cloud data backups are important
Backups take a lot of time, and most people don’t even bother making them. If you don’t back up data regularly, your efforts are mostly wasted.
Protected
Everything you store on NordLocker Cloud is end-to-end encrypted, protecting your data from damage, snooping, and ransomware attacks.
Easy
Cloud backups are much easier than local ones. Drop your files into the app, and they’ll be instantly encrypted and backed up in the cloud.
Back up your data on any device
If you don’t delete something, it’s probably because you think you may need it in the future. Making backups (extra copies) ensures you never lose your digital possessions. But while it’s easy to back up the operating system on Windows and macOS, the security of your files often depends on you.

Cloud backup and recovery: What’s the difference?
Even though backup and recovery are two ends of the same process, there is an important distinction between the two.
To protect an important file, you can make an extra copy and move it onto a flash drive. That's a backup. You may never use that copy, but it’s there just in case. If something goes wrong, you can take your flash drive and use the file you saved. That’s recovery. But people often forget about backups, and recovery can become cumbersome and extremely expensive. People spend thousands of dollars having to pay a ransom for their data or trying to extract some files from a damaged drive.
In other words, you can make backups without recovery. But you cannot recover without a backup.
How to restore your files using cloud backup
NordLocker’s cloud backup protects your files in various situations. Even if we put the digital dangers aside, you may always find yourself in desperate need of a file while you’re away from your computer. Whatever happens, your files stay protected and accessible to you.
If your device gets damaged or attacked by ransomware, the recovery will be easy. Since the backup files are stored in the cloud, your data can be restored from there.

Frequently
asked questions
Cloud backup is a copy of your data stored on the cloud. For example, while your operating system can back itself up automatically, the backups are stored on your device. With cloud backup, your data is stored on the cloud and synced across your devices. If anything happens to your device, you could recover your data with the cloud backups

The Apple ecosystem is built on synchronizing users’ messages, contacts, and files via iCloud. Mac computers also have a built-in backup tool.

You can secure files on your device and back them up in a few clicks.
In short, nothing. If you have several backup files and would like to free up some device space, deleting them would be completely safe. Make sure to leave the most recent one, though. This way, you could still restore your data if anything happened to your device.
