How to Use Windows Cloud Backup?

In Handy Backup, all online backup options are the plug-ins available for either storing data or making backups from accounts. Therefore, you can find every cloud plug-in on the "Cloud" group on the left panel on the Step 2 of a new backup task wizard, or on the left panel of a Step 3 (data destinations).

In addition, when you need to make a whole Windows cloud backup, you can use a plug-in for taking an OS drive image, which can be either the Disk Image or the System Recovery tool.
