If you have a small folder with small files that are modified frequently, you might want to use Real-time backup. Otherwise, a scheduled backup is recommended.

Yes, you can. Please note backup tasks are associated with the source computer.

You can migrate a task from one computer to another computer, though.
- Which folders should I backup? Do I just backup the whole C: drive?
While you can backup the whole c: drive, it is strongly not recommended. You only need to backup important data files. You don’t need to backup Operating system files (Windows folder) or application files (program files folder). These files are not important as you can simply reinstall the OS or applications. If you try to backup those folders, it could take a very long time to upload all the files. Generally you are recommended to backup the "My Documents" folder where you store your personal data files.

Cloud IT Solution Online Backup supports incremental backup. Files won’t be uploaded again if not changed after last backup. If you have backed up a part of a very large file, it can even resume uploading the remaining part of the file and not start from the scratch.
