How it works

Once CopyCat is installed on your computer, you can have the peace of mind that your computer files are safe from hard drive failure, theft, fire and natural disasters. When you’re online, we’re backing up your files. After a simple setup, CopyCat will run in the background, no procedures to follow. You simply set it and forget it.

CopyCat makes a copy of your precious computer files and sends them securely to CopyCat for storage and safe keeping. CopyCat encrypts your files then uses your internet connection for transmitting the files securely. So secure not even CopyCat staff can read them. Your files are stored across multiple of New Zealand's leading first-class data centres.

You can select from Backup Schedule or use our new Sync Backup option. Use Backup Schedule to setup an automatic backup routine, like Daily at 6pm. Or use Sync Backup to backup files on the go, as soon as CopyCat detects they’ve changed.

1. Sign up for an account

Create a CopyCat user account which will allow you to download the CopyCat software. Each account comes with a 15-day FREE trial period.

2. Download and install software

CopyCat downloads in seconds, and the installation is simple and fast. Our step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process.

3. Select files to be backed up

Simply select the files/folders you want to backup, use the Backup Schedule to set the frequency of backups, and CopyCat does the rest. Your files are backed up through your internet connection to our servers located across New Zealand.

Restoring your files

File restoreWe hope you never need to, but in the case of a file disaster your backed up files are only three clicks away. They will be restored securely and safely to your computer. Our Time Machine feature even allows you to specify which file version you want to restore.

Restore via external hard drive

External Hard DriveIn the event of total file loss, restoring your files through your internet connection can be time consuming. So CopyCat give you the option of restoring via external hard drive.  CopyCat will courier all your files to you on an external hard drive. Files on this hard drive remains in their compressed and encrypted state to ensure maximum security for your sensitive files. CopyCat’s software has a built in 'decryption wizard' to decrypt your files in a fast and efficient manner.
