ā˜ļø Profile Backup (Cloud)

Last updated on 

If Profile Sync is disabled, Wavebox will periodically back up your Profiles to the cloud every 6 hours approximately. This enables you to restore your setup at any time in the future on any computer where you are logged in.

šŸ‘ Tip: Note that Profile Sync is different to Profile Backup. Profile Sync is continuous, real-time backup used to keep your computer's in sync. Profile Backups are only enabled if Profile Sync is turned-off (disabled).
