After you install the McAfee Online Backup backup software on your
computer, it typically runs constantly in the background, backing up the
selected files either automatically or as scheduled. You may need to access the
backup software for any of these reasons:
- Change which files are
backed up.
- Change settings.
- See status or history
information for backups.
- Verify that files are backed
up.
- Restore files.
On Windows computers, the Status and Settings windows can be opened
through the Windows notification area, sometimes referred to as the system
tray, or from the Start menu. The default location of the notification area is
in the lower right corner of your desktop, next to the clock. You can search
online for more information about the Windows notification area.
