How can I use iCloud for backup entire folders?

I see that I can drag and drop files in iCloud.  I need a way to copy entire folders as a backup device.

I don't have to see them on more than one device necessarily, but want to ensure that they are saved if Mac fails

What is the best way to do it?

Use an external hard drive and a backup application as Time Machine that comes with every Mac.  All icloud options for synchronization of files between devices using the same Apple ID and iCloud.  They are not designed for storage of Mac.

I the iCloud features are all changes made on a device reflects on all the devices connected to the same ID.

  • I can't use iCloud for backup of data from third-party applications

    I use an iPod touch 6th generation and I wanted to use iCloud for backup of Twitter, IG, Pinterest etc. I've tried searching steps. So far I've been finding the same set of instructions:

    Settings > iCloud > storage > select your iDevice > turn on apps you want to iCloud to save

    But after clicking on the storage, I don't see that 'manage storage' and below, the option 'change of Plan '. Why does my iPod not not the option choose iDevice? I can see the option to save the data of integrated applications, but not applications, third-party. My iCloud that unit is on but my Photos under icloud is disabled. I really need the extra space. What seems to be the problem?

    Click Manage store (settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage and you see what moves backup iCloud storage.)

  • I can't trust iCloud for backup?

    My wife and I have several Macs and iPad backup iCloud. Today we have connected and the documents of our Pages are gone — not a few documents, but precious and many lost work. Lost? I've seen other posts related to Pages and sheets of deleted documents and unrecoverable IOS after the most recent upgrade. I visited iCloud.com and searched recoverable documents in the 'Advanced' section to see if the papers were there - they were not. I checked to see if iCloud in 'Settings' with all our devices - it is. Apple said at the time that we shouldn't count on iCloud for backup, because they cannot ensure our documents stored cloud will survive our specific to the device updates? Seriously? So I should relegate all iCloud to toy status devices because they are not reliable for work? Why our unit upgrades would replace somehow data that was stored "safely" remotely? Wasn't that the point of iCloud 'trust' in the first place. Can anyone talk me down off that ledge I'm about to throw my (many) features of work Apple out of? Thank you.

    Apple do not back up user iCloud storage and does not announce that iCloud is a backup service. It is a place of convenience for document sharing between Apple devices only. You alone are responsible for the backup of your files, and which is carried out with an external drive properly size Time machine and, possibly, yet another external drive that you clone your boot drive too.

    Time Machine backs up your documents in iCloud drive (if they were changed) with each hourly backup run. The condition is that the Mac must be signed in the iCloud and iCloud drive active. In addition, selected items in the category of Options iCloud drive will get photographed by Time Machine.

    With paragraph 2 is met, Time Machine will search your local library: Documents Mobile folder. It is the active content of your iCloud drive.

    Once iCloud drive is enabled in the Yosemite or later (on any device from Apple), devices iOS and Mac using the same Apple ID, but running older versions of Mac OS X will lose their documents in iCloud site. These documents will remain accessible on iCloud drive, but is no longer available on the old version of iCloud.

  • Can I use iCloud for storing photo backup?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to use iCloud as photo backup storage. I have a lot of pictures on my OS 10.7.5 and save them on the cloud. Is this possible? is it possible even with an older version of iPhoto?

    Thank you friends mac colleagues.

    Ana

    No iCloud by itself. You can save the images on iCloud drive, but then they are just images randomly without structure, unless save you them in a kind of files that will help you organize them in the drive.

    If you want to archive and save photos, you should be import on your computer, or you must use a Cloud service of archiving such as Dropbox or Google Photos. It is the only way to store your photos.

    Good luck

  • How can I use applescript for OCR to a bunch of files - with Acrobat XI?

    Hello

    IWant to write an AppleScript (for example) that can be used as a droplet or has a menu to open a folder of pdf files scanned for OCR. And - I want to use Acrobat XI (because it's my version), German version.

    As Acrobat XI is not recordable with applescript editor and I can't find a manual of objects and methods I googled a script that worked with Acrobat 9, but not with Acrobat XI. Here, you define a "Wizard of Action" - Script for example called "OCR this ' and 'click' of the element. But as in Acrobat XI this Item is noch in hand-sbubmenu more than it seems to not work.

    Here is a screenshot:

    Bildschirmfoto 2014-07-14 um 10.57.06.png

    And it's theapplescrpt, tha opens "Aktionsassistent":

    Click on the menu item "Aktionsassistent" in the menu "Tools" from menu item "Tools" in the menu "Anzeige" of the menu bar item "Anzeige" from the menu bar 1

    BotR, so I cannot reach "OCR it."

    If any body has a suspicion - either by clicking on "OCR this ' or sript an OCR on one open our AppleScript, that would be great.

    Thank you

    Smail

    AppleScript is documented in the Acrobat SDK kit. But there is no way to do it.
