  1. Log in to the My Data Portal using your Data Deposit Box Backup credentials.
  2. On the dashboard, scroll down to the Device List.

  3. Click Manage next to the system from which you wish to monitor a file/folder in the cloud.

  4. On the Device page navigate to the folder/files you want to monitor and check the file/folder and then click the icon.

Note: Make sure you are on the cloud backup page for the system

  1. Confirm this is the file/folder you wish to watch and Click Yes

To the right of the Device Data there is a tab called Watchlist.

Here you can see the items you are watching as well as their last backup date.

You can click the icon to remove the file from the watch list as required.
