Before you start

  • You are the site owner.
  • See the size choices and their prices on keynate.com when you add it.

Steps

  1. Open My sites, choose your site and press See backups.
  2. Find the box Photos & videos. It says "Photos and videos are not included in these backups."
  3. Press Add photo & video backup.
  4. Choose a size and finish the payment on keynate.com.
  5. Come back to Backups. The first copy takes a few nights. The box shows First copy in progress and the percent done.
