Cloud backup snapshots

What the feature does

Cloud backup snapshots store BoosterX backup profiles online, tied to a key. The feature is available with a PRO license when connected to the service. Local snapshots remain on this PC; the cloud is needed for transfer and as a safety net.

How to upload a profile

1. Open “Recovery” → the BoosterX tab.
2. In the “Local” section, find the snapshot card and click “Upload to cloud”.
3. Wait for the “Profile synced with cloud” status — it is also shown on the card after uploading.

Cloud profiles are visible in the “In the cloud” section: they can be downloaded or deleted. If a profile file with the same name already exists locally, BoosterX plainly reports “File already exists”.

Applying on another PC

1. On the new computer, sign in with the same key and open “Recovery” → BoosterX → the “In the cloud” section.
2. Click “Download” next to the desired profile — it will appear in the “Local” section.
3. Open the profile with the “Open” button and review the preview: the “Setting” and “Now” columns.
4. Consider the warning “Some settings are unavailable on this device and will not be applied”: unavailable parameters are skipped, the rest are applied with the “Apply now” button.
5. Verify the result manually and, if necessary, make a local snapshot before applying.

A cloud profile may not suit another computer: before applying, compare the Windows version and edition, hardware, drivers and available components. Profiles from someone else’s or an old key are transferred via backup profile import.

Limitations

Do not use a cloud snapshot as your only backup: version history in the cloud does not replace copies of important files, recovery keys and installation data — store them separately.
