You are welcome to add as many computers as you like to a single account. Keep in mind all the computers sharing an account will have access to the files in the backup. When you add more computers they will show up under the Browse tab of the web console by their computer name.
Here are the steps:
1) Install the software from www.safecopybackup.com/pages/download.
2) Immediately after the installation you will be prompted with a setup wizard. Use the option for Existing Account and enter your email and SafeCopy password.
3) Click apply and your backup is underway. If you want to adjust the folders selected for backup you can do this in the configuration area.
Forgot your password?
You can reset your password from the Forgot Password link on the web console login page. Keep in mind if you change your password, you will need to re-enter the new password in the SafeCopy account are for all the computers running SafeCopy.

I just got a new computer, and I don't want to go through the incredibly long wait (over a month of having the computer on 24/7!) to do the initial backup. On my old computer I had one folder with all my data, and I copied this folder to my new computer and I want to continue backing up this folder. Is there a way to do this?
Good question. If you move over the data from an old computer that was on SafeCopy, to a new computer, it will be a very fast process to upload. The files will be recognized as exiting and will "TurboUpload." Then when done, you can leave the old computer in SafeCopy, or you can delete it via the web console.
Give it a try and let support@safecopybackup.com know if you have any questions.
It worked! Everything is being TurboUploaded! Thanks!
