Archive a BigMIND Backup

Introduction

With BigMIND, archiving a backup involves discontinuing the backup process for a specific device (such as a computer, server, or smartphone), while retaining the backed-up data from that device on the cloud for future restoration purposes.

The archive action cannot be undone.
