BT Cloud Backup problem.
There's a new prblem with BT Cloud, but there seems to be a workaround.
I have two BT Cloud folders on the laptop, as set from the installation.
These are: BT Cloud, BT Cloud Sync.
Both are set to upload automatically.
So:- A weekly update of a data logging file (from a weather station) is made to the excel file stored in the BT Cloud Folder, on the laptop.
The folder is updated, but the BT Cloud data, i.e what is actually stored in the cloud is not. You can see this when checking the dates in the file listings.
The workaround is to copy the file to the Sync folder, which is not exactly a neat solution.
I also have Microsoft's One Drive, which is trouble free so far - although slow to access sometimes.
Would like to keep BT Cloud, as it has a useful e-mail sharing utility which avoids problems with data upload limits.
Any ideas?
Hi AlexTheLion - Thanks for the speedy suggestion
I've just tried adding the shortcut as you suggested - but the lovely BT Cloud app just opens it and forces me to select down to the file level again - grrr.

Cloud backup restored photos and documnets to the wrong folder and all in one folder
I used the cloud backup to backup and restore my photos and documents because I was told to fix my problem I would have to do a hard reset. When I restored the photos and documents they were all restored to the wrong place and all in one folder. Please help. Is there any way to fix this or is their cloud backup program just stupid and I am screwed?
Kallyone,
Let's get to the bottom of this and get your pictures and documents backed up correctly. What phone do you have? Did you restore every all at once? Try removing the files and doing the restore again. Did you do the restore from the phone or desktop app?

What is the best online cloud backup?
I've had carbonate when I had windows laptops, now I'm new to mac and want to back up all of my documents, particularly photos.
I've heard about problems restoring photos when using carbonate on a mac. I'm prepared to pay but I need a cloud backup service that will restore to a mac or windows laptop, does anyone have any good suggestions? Photos are my priority.
I want to get it sorted quickly. Due to theft/breakage cloud storage has saved me two times in as many years so I'm keen to get it again.
Thanks!I doubt it is the best but I use Mozy. They have the following information regarding iPhoto. http://support.mozy.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/How-does-Mozy-backup-and-restore-iPho to-and-Aperture-Libraries
Another popular option for online backups is CrashPlan. http://www.code42.com/crashplan/
They also have some information specific to iPhoto. http://support.mozy.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/How-does-Mozy-backup-and-restore-iPho to-and-Aperture-Libraries
My iPhoto Library is very small -- only around 1.6GB and Mozy works for me but you are likely to get some input here about online backup services not being functional or practical for iPhoto libraries. -
I tried to restore my iPad from the cloud backup but the iCloud returned the following message 'no backup available'? This after happened after I created the backup today and the same was confirmed at the Apple Store attendant
Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key! -
Recommendations for cloud backup for both Mac + PC
My company wants to begin cloud backups for both our Macs and Windows machines. I'd like input on anyone's experiences with any of the companies that provide this.
Ideally, I'd like it *similar to* the ~$60/yr plans (as for one computer); I'll have to compare pricing for multiple units once I have at least a couple of recommended programs.
Thanks,

I've been using Mozy on my MacBook. Mostly it works OK, but every once in awhile, they put out a new release, and it break my Mac Mozy backup (I think they focus on the PC side of the business more). The customer support has been responsive (assuming you get someone that is not PC centric, which is easy to do if you ask). Then again, I've had to reload all my stuff from scratch twice because of Mozy hick-ups. This is too bad for me, as I consider Mozy a secondary backup for off-site protection, not my primary backup solution.
I know Mozy has a corporate backup solution, however, I do not know how much they charge.
I also do not know if Mozy pesonal edition will get through a corporate firewall. If you are a small company without a corporate firewall, then that is not a problem. -
I have been using a school purchased iPad for a few months, using my own private account, and have enjoyed it so much that I just bought my own. Had to return the school's first, but did a complete cloud backup with it. Double checked it - it completely backed up, had plenty of memory left, and everything was fine. So I did a factory reset on that device and turned it in. Got my new iPad today, signed in and selected iPad Cloud Restore from backup, and it tells me there is not a cloud backup for my account. Seriously? The two iPads were identical in their specs also.
What do I have to do? This should be a piece of cake, but clearly something is messed up here. Do I have to remove that old iPad (disassociate it from my apple ID) first (using manage devices in itunes?) - that seems like it might be risky and might get rid of the cloud backup if it's still there somewhere.
Thanks for any help.Wasn't using a mobile device to access me.com, or Safari. I am using the *same* ID/password that my iPad was using - the same one (the only one I've ever had) on iTunes too. I am 100% sure it backed it up - it completed the iCloud initial backup process without an error message, then I went back later in the day and looked at "Last backed up: 8:37am", which was the time I completed the backup process. I checked the amount of space the backup consumed, and it wasn't much, but was something like half a gigabyte, leaving me with about 4.5gb of iCloud storage space remaining. All of it seemed to be extremely indicative of actually backing up the iPad. So at that point, instead of backing up a second time, I went ahead with the factory reset on the device and turned it back into the school when that was done.
Now I am getting no other options on this brand new (bought from Apple.com) iPad to restore from iCloud backup. This blasted me.com message is all I see. I tried entering in a wrong email into the login/password, and the error message came up there (where it did not give an error message when I logged in with the correct login/password), which seems to tell me the login/password are not the problem.
This is really enfuriating. I followed apple's rules for using iCloud as a backup, bought a brand new product of theirs, and now none of it is working and I seem to be at risk of losing my backed up photos and programs and settings from the old iPad. Really not pleased with this purchase at this point and need more help. Is there an official place I can call or go besides here? -
I cannot delete the I cloud backup message on my I Pad3 despite pressing ok button. I pad now locked and i cannot activate any functions or switch off. I have not signed up to an I cloud account to date. IOS 6 loaded last week.
Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).
