How It Works
Safepots Products save a copy of each file that is automatically selected for backup and other files you designate for backup (your “Backed-up Data”) to a server operated by Amazon. Safepots Products automatically scan for changes or additions to the Backed-up Data and then periodically re-save a copy or a part of a modified file or create a copy of a newly designated file. For a complete list of the files Safepots is backing-up for you, please refer to the Safepots web console. You can check whether Safepots is backing-up specific files by going to Safepots Timeline located in your Computer, Web console, or from your mobile. If you are unable to locate your file, Safepots is not backing-up that file. Your Backed-up Data may not be available or restorable if: (i) Safepots has not completed copying your selected files or changed files; (ii) for files, folders, or disk drives that are not automatically backed-up, you do not manually select them for backup, or you unselect a file for backup; (iii) you delete a person from your Safepots account; (iv) you move a file to a location on your computer that is not automatically scanned to select files for backup or you upgrade your operating system resulting in changes to your file mapping; (v) your computer is unable to access the internet or to Amazon s3 Storage; (vi) you fail to follow Safepots’s technical requirements, including upgrading the version of your Safepots Products as required; or (vii) you terminate your license or fail to renew your subscription to Safepots Products.
