Setup Complete
Review the information in the Setup Complete dialog box to understand how long your backup might take. The first backup takes a while because all of your selected files must be encrypted and then sent to the backup servers. The time to complete the initial backup depends on the how busy your computer is and how fast your Internet connection is. This is a common issue with all online backup services.
Select an option:
- Settings: Exits the Setup Wizard and opens the Settings window so you can edit backup sets and change other settings.
- Back: Use this button to go back in the Setup Wizard to change the choices you have made.
- Finish: Exits the Setup Wizard and starts your first backup.
- Cancel: Exits the Setup Wizard without saving the choices you made. Secure Backup and Share is still installed but not configured. When you open Secure Backup and Share Settings, the Setup Wizard starts again.
