• A computer backup is a second copy of your data that you store separately from the original. That includes family photos and videos, documents, emails and contacts, and the apps and operating system that powers your computer. If the originals are located on your laptop or a mobile device, you keep the backup somewhere else that safe – that way you can use the second copy to restore your files or system in case something happens to the original.

• To ensure all of this data is accurately copied so you can use it to recover your computer, backup software is a must. A solution like CAL Defense for Home automatically captures changes to everything, including hidden files that can be missed by manually copying files, and makes the process of recovery easy and efficient.

With CAL Defense for Home , creating a full image backup on an external hard drive is as easy as two clicks. Once the drive is connected and CAL agent is running, you click "Add backup". The entire computer is the default backup source, so you simply need to assign the external drive as the Backup destination and then click "Back up now".

• Computer backups need to be stored someplace safe. We recommend the 3-2-1 backup rule, which includes storing a copy of your backup files locally (on external hard drives, network drives, and NAS devices) and another copy off-site. That way, if a fire or flood damages both your original files and the local backup, the off-site copy is available to use for recovery.
• "The cloud" is a term that describes a remote network of computers and servers that you access via the internet. Because you just log in via the internet, the cloud is a convenient way to store your files off-site, where they are safe from local damage. Subscriptions to the Advanced and Premium editions of CAL Defense for Home include cloud storage, as well as cloud-based features and anywhere access to your data.
• With CAL Defense for Home , you also have the ability to automatically replicate local backups in the Cloud, so you always have an off-site copy of your data available without having to manage a separate backup plan. By choosing this option, after the first successful backup, your backup and replication will be done simultaneously, in parallel.

Yes. CAL anti-malware uses a set of integrated technologies that deliver data protection capabilities many third-party antiviruses don’t. Such as:

• It keeps your backup safe. A dedicated module of CAL anti-malware protection guards your backup files and the backup agent, preventing deletion or alteration by malware.
