What is backed up in automatic backup?
This section explains what is backed up in automatic backup.
If you have selected automatic backup, the F-Secure Online Backup program starts to back up your files

messages, Internet Explorer favorites, and files in the My Documents folder and on your desktop. The backup
process runs in the background. The backup speed may vary depending on the following:
•
what is the type and speed of your Internet connection
•
how long you have had the Internet connection open
•
whether you use your computer for something else at the same time
