To be able to upload backups to hosted storage, you need to create a SQL Backup Pro Hosted Storage account and link it to a SQL Server instance. You can create an account on the SQL Backup Pro Hosted Storage website.

To link an account to a SQL Server instance for the first time:

1. On the Tools menu, select Server Options, and open the Hosted Storage Settings tab.

    

2. Select the SQL Server you want to link to your account from the drop-down list.
3. Enter your account email address and password. Your password will not be stored on your machine.

4. Click Link Account. A confirmation message is displayed if the account is successfully linked.

   The machine running the SQL Backup Pro GUI must be connected to the internet in order to link a SQL Server instance to a Hosted Storage account.
