Introduction
The Polarbackup service enables users to back up files from various drive types, including internal or external drives, as well as network locations. This can be accomplished through two distinct methods, which are outlined in detail below.
Method 1: Using the Polarbackup Desktop Application
Step 1. Open the Polarbackup desktop application.
Step 2. From Polarbackup’s dashboard, click on Data Selection.
Step 3. Use the available tabs under the opened Data Selection window to select the data that you need to back it up.
If your Polarbackup plan supports both Instant and ❆Cold Storage, the Data Selection window will display three (3) tabs; Smart Selection, My Computer, and Cold Storage. To back up certain data to ❆Cold Storage, add the file/folder/drive path under the Cold Storage tab.
Step 4. Click on the Save button.
Method 2: Via the Polarbackup Web Console
Step 1. Sign in to your Polarbackup web console as an admin user.
Step 2. Refer to the Policies page.
Step 3. Create a new policy, or select to edit an existing one.
Step 4. Under Instant Storage Data/Cold Storage Data, you can use the Add files/Folders path options to select the data to be backed up.
Step 5. Click the Save button to confirm the changes.
