4.5.3 Encryption key

To protect your data on Acronis Cloud from unauthorized access, you can use encryption. In this case
your data will be stored on Acronis Cloud in encrypted form. To encrypt and decrypt your data, the
program needs the encryption key, that you should specify when you register your computer. An
encryption key is a unique alphanumeric code, like a password. You can specify any set of characters
you like. Note that the key is case-sensitive.

An encryption key cannot be retrieved. Please memorize the key that you specify during your computer
registration.

While attempting to access the encrypted data, the program asks you to enter the encryption key.

Note that you cannot set or change the encryption key for an already existing online backup.

4.5.4 Windows account for Online backup

When you create a backup, you can specify a Windows account under which this backup should be
performed. This may be useful if your computer is used not only by you, but also by your relatives. In
such a case each user often has personal documents, e-mail accounts, settings, and other personal
data. By default Small Office Backup backs up data of the current user. We recommend that you
change this setting if the Windows account under which you are currently working is not yours. The
program will back up only the data related to the specified account. Data of all other accounts will
not be backed up.

To change the current Windows account:

1. Select the Run backup as different Windows user check box.
