How to use Unlimited Cloud Backup

Make sure all your study and hard work is safe at all times. Provided by Livedrive, our file backup service has been designed to provide you with an easy and secure way of backing up files, documents, pictures, music and emails without the need for extra hardware such as external hard drives or memory sticks which can be lost, stolen or malfunction.

For just £10 for a full year, you will be able to ensure that all your coursework or photographs are automatically backed up every time you connect to the internet, with unlimited storage space.

We even keep copies of deleted files for 30 days, so if you accidentally delete that important piece of coursework that you've been working so hard on for the last week, you can easily restore it from the Cloud!

How do I get it?

  1. When you purchase the service you will receive a confirmation email containing a username, password and link to an online account.
