Setting Up & Managing Cloud Backups

Information on setting up and managing cloud backups of your HomeSeer system.

Overview

MyHS Premium allows for your HS4 system(s) to upload backups to the cloud so that you always have a recent backup, even if something happens to your hardware or storage. You will need to configure cloud backups both on the MyHS web page and within the HS4 web interface, please see the instructions below for both.

Configuring Cloud Backups in MyHS

1. Visit myhs.homeseer.com, enter your credentials, then click Manage Account.
   
2. While viewing the Manage page, scroll to the bottom to view the Cloud Backup Settings section. Depending on the level of MyHS Premium you are subscribed to, you will have options for what time or day your backups will be uploaded to MyHS.
