8.5.4 Proxy settings
If your computer is connected to the Internet using a proxy server, enable use of the proxy server
and enter its settings.
Acronis Online Backup supports only http and https proxy servers.
In the Host name box, type the name or IP address of the proxy server, such as proxy.example.com
or 192.168.0.1.
In the Port box, type the proxy server's port, such as 8080.
In the User name and Password boxes, type the credentials you use for connecting to the proxy
server, if necessary.
To test the proxy server connection, click the Test button.
If you do not know your proxy server settings, contact your network administrator or Internet service
provider for assistance. Alternatively, you can try to take these settings from your browser's
configuration.
8.6 Recommendations on selecting data for storing
online
Because online backups are relatively slow, you should think over what data to back up. First of all
consider backing up your personal data that cannot be recovered if lost as a result of fire, computer
theft, etc. Before proceeding with a backup, estimate how long it will take to back up your data. For
instance, if your folders take up 10GB and your upload speed is 1000 Kbps (somewhat less than half a
gigabyte per hour), it should take more than 20 hours to perform your first full backup. So depending
on the speed of your Internet connection, you may want to back up just the most critical files.
