up your valuable iles on your C drive, Memeo Instant Backup protects your data and allows you to restore all of your iles

if something happens to your computer. Your digital iles are important; protect them with Memeo Instant Backup.

Step 1: Create your free Memeo account

After installation, Memeo Instant Backup will automatically scan your computer’s C drive and show a breakdown

of iles to be backed up in the bar chart. The amount of space required for the backup along with the amount of

available space on the selected storage device will be displayed in the storage meter.

changed iles. Don’t worry if your storage device isn’t connected at the time. Memeo’s LifeAgent Technology will keep

track of any changes and back them up when the device is reconnected.

Restoring Your Data

If you end up in a situation where something happens to your computer or you need to restore your iles to

a different computer, follow these simple steps to restore your data.

If you still have Memeo Instant Backup installed with an active backup:

2. Click the Restore button.

3. Select whether you want to restore all iles from the backup or just certain ones. Click Next.

5. Choose to either restore your iles to their original location or to a new folder. Click Restore.

6. Your folders and iles will be restored to the selected destination.

Tip: If you see errors due to trying to restore iles to “read-only” folders in the original location, choose to restore your

iles to a different location instead of the original location. Typically, this happens when trying to restore other User’s

iles, so you can also choose to restore the iles when logged in as the other User on your computer.
