1. Click the Options button to navigate to the correct panel:

Synchronization:
· Number of Days to Keep Historical Versions: Increase this setting if you want previous versions of
your data to be available for a longer period of time.
· Minimum Number of Versions to Keep: Increase this setting if you want to always store more
versions of files (as a minimum).
· Number of Days to Keep Deleted Files: Increase this setting if you want to keep files that you have
deleted locally for a longer period of time.
Notifications:
· You may want to change the notification actions when the backup has finished with warnings or
errors to Notify me and send me an email. This will help you be alerted when the backup may need
help or attention.
Outgoing Email Configuration:
· If you have problems receiving the notification email then you will need to provide an SMTP Server
Address (and optionally an SMTP user name and password) in this section. Contact your network
administrator for this information.
· To test that notifications are working correctly, go to the system status page, click the Help Me
button, and choose to send an email to your desired notification email address. It will indicate
whether or not it was successful.
3. Change other options, as desired. The default settings will work for most users.
