Please note: backups are currently available for Mac and Linux. Windows backups will be avilable soon.

Internxt Drive has a backup feature on Mac that allows you to make backup copies of your files and folders in case you lose or delete your files. Backups allow saving copies of folders of the user's choice periodically. They are stored indefinitely until they are replaced by a newer copy.
Backups can only be initiated from a desktop device. You may access your backed-up files by clicking the “Backups” tabs and selecting the device backup you wish to access.
How to back up your files on the Internxt desktop app for Mac
Ensure you have the most recent version of the app installed.
Open the app, and go to > "Settings" ⚙️ > "Preferences" on the top right.
Click "Backup now" to select the folders you want to backup.
Once you have added your folders, select "Backup now" to back up your files.
Once the process is complete, your files will backup successfully.
You can then tap “Backup now” or select the drag-down box to enable a backup frequency for every 6 hours, every 12 hours, every day, or manual backups. This feature is only available on MacOS at the moment.
To delete files from backup click "Change files", right click the file you want to delete, and select "Delete".
To add new files, click "Change files" and add your folders as above.
The current version of MacOS supports manual backups only.
If you would like to see where your files are backed up, log in to Internxt Drive on web, and click "Backups".
You can also delete backups by clicking on the three dots (...) icon to the left of the device name and selecting “Delete”.
You can back up as many devices as you want at the same time.
Other related points to consider:
Backup changes on directories are not automatic, you must manually choose which files you want backed up to your account.
To pause a backup, you must click on the "Stop" button after initiating a backup.
Backups may only be downloaded via the web at the moment, and unlike standard files, they have no download limit because we use new APIs implemented by some browsers.
It's impossible to move already uploaded material from Drive to Backup so as not to have to upload everything again.
Through Drive Web, you can download any file from the backup, simply by choosing the ones you wish to download.
We use one-way sync to create a backup of your important data in the cloud. With this, you can maintain a complete history of your files in the cloud, even if you modify or delete them locally to prevent accidental deletions.
