Please follow the directions below to download and install Skadoit's software.
Until your transaction has been verified and completed as purchased and after the initial install of our software is complete, the status on the backup software may show as "Trial" and the space allocation may not reflect your total purchase. The validation process may take up to 24 hours.
Please use the following instructions to download and install Skadoit!
Once you have downloaded the Skadoit! Software, please double click on the setup file.
Follow the instructions as you are prompted.
Setup Skadoit!
After successfully installing the Skadoit! Online Backup Software, you will be prompted to choose your Skadoit! Username and Password.
Enter a valid email address. Enter the same email address used to complete your purchase.
After a successful login, a backup set wizard will appear to help create your first backup set.
Select the shortcuts in [Backup Source] to quickly select common files for Skadoit! to backup.
Press the [Advanced] button to select additional files and/or folders that you want Skadoit! to backup. Press the [Next] button.
Select how often you would like your backup to run. Once set, your backup will run automatically at the designated time. Your initial backup could take hours, even days, to complete depending on your Internet Service upload speed. This is normal. After your initial backup completes, subsequent backups will only backup the files that have changed from the previous backup. These backups will only take a couple minutes to complete. To counteract the length of time for your initial backup, you may choose to "Stop after X hour(s)." For instance, if you would like your backup to run from 12:00am until 8:00am, set the [Start] time for 00:00 and choose the [End] to stop after 8 hours. Press the [Next] button.
An Encryption prompt will follow. Enter and confirm your encrypting key. (IMPORTANT - Do not lose this key! Only you have access to this key!) Press the [Save] button.
Your backup set is now complete. Backups will now run automatically!
Backup and Restore
To manually run a backup, press the Yellow [Backup] button. This can be done at any time.
Once an initial backup has run, you may restore a file by pressing the Yellow [Restore] button.
