We all deal with documents and images on a daily basis. The content will accumulate over a period of time and you need to backup the data to a safe destination. This could be either a portable hard drive or cloud storage. Imagine, you have backed up all the important data on a portable hard drive and it stopped working. It’s not possible to retrieve the content. Hence, you need to make use of cloud storage platforms like CBackup.
Features
CBackup is a popular best cloud backup solution, which is capable of pushing all your data to the cloud. You can integrate different clouds and multiple accounts under the same cloud to CBackup. You can easily convert all the unused space of all your paid cloud drives into CBackup online backup storage service. You can backup files from local PC to cloud for easy recovery during data loss.

Installation
As part of World Backup Day, AOMEI is throwing away CBackup for free. You can download the Windows 11 desktop tool directly from the AOMEI World Backup Day landing page. You just need to download the executable and complete the installation process. You will view the following dashboard immediately after the installation.
If you are a new user, you have to create an account. You will view a new page, which prompts you to provide the email address and password including the verification code. A user interface as shown below will be displayed upon successful login.
You have to select Backup Now button under Backup Foles to Cloud to backup data from your PC to CBackup cloud. You will view the below interface.
CBackup provides several options. You can backup content to public cloud such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and much more using the tool. We will backup data to CBackup Cloud for the purpose of this review, which is the third option from the top. You will view an interface as shown below.
The user interface is divided into two sections. You have to choose the files you would like to backup from the Source section. You will have to collapse the hard drive partition and select the relevant folder that you need to backup. You have to pick a folder name and select Start Backup button.
The destination is CBackup Cloud and you need not have to perform any task. CBackup will display the backup process as shown below. The time required to complete the installation process will depend upon the capacity of the source files.
You can initiate another backup task by selecting Backup option from the left side. You can also sync PC data to public cloud services such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox. You can work with all the cloud services using just CBackup by selecting Storage option from the navigation panel. You have to provide the required authorization credentials by following the displayed instructions.
CBackup will display the total number of files and capacity on the dashboard. You can restore the file by selecting the three horizontal dots on the right side and selecting Restore option.
It’s easy to restore files from the backup just by clicking the Restore option. However, the time required to complete the restoration will depend upon the capacity of the files.
Conclusion
CBackup is an excellent free cloud backup software using which you can safely and quickly transfer data. YOu can easily restore the data from the CBackup servers. The user interface is simple to use and effective. The free plan will be sufficient for normal users. If you work with Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, and Google Drive, then you should consider CBackup as well. We would appreciate if the company provides a recognizable name for the files that are backed up on the dashboard. The first uploaded content will be Filer Backup and second one will be File Explorer (1) like that. It will be difficult to recognize the contents of the specific folder at the time of restoration. We hope the product team will provide a facility for the users to rename the default Task List names to recognizable names. That said, we highly recommend the free cloud software tool CBackup for all your data security requirements.
