How to set up the application:

  1. Enter a PC Name and click on Next. The program will automatically suggest the PC name to be the same as the one used in the operating system. You can override this if you wish. The PC name is used to identify which PC is being referred to when using the service on several machines.

  1. Set up an e-mail address and password. The e-mail address you enter here will then act as your user account for working with Mamut Online Backup. You may use both letters and numbers in your password.

  2. Activate your account by entering the four-digit activation code, which was sent to the e-mail address you entered previously and should have arrived in your Inbox by now. The Voucher Code is used in certain circumstances as a code to activate account updates. This field can also be found under Account.

  3. Set a Mamut Key, e.g. 'example12', and click on Next. Your personal Mamut Key which is used to access your stored data later on, is now being created.

    Note!
    The Mamut Key must be at least 10 characters. Read more about the Mamut Key here.

    Only the Mamut Key can be used to access your files when you want to restore them so you need to make sure that you will remember it. You can print it out directly from this window or copy it to a clipboard in Windows. Make sure to store it in a secure place.

    Before you finish the wizard, you will receive a summary of all the settings you have entered. Confirm that you have saved your Mamut Key in a secure place by ticking the relevant box.  

  4. Click Finish.

The installation has now been completed and you can start using the program.

Good to know

The program creates a short cut, on your desktop, to the Mamut Online Backup folder in My Documents. It suggests the standard area, for data you receive from others, via the Inbox. The data you share with others, with the help of the function Share, can be shared from this area.
