  • When you click Configure Backup, a new screen should appear that has a button in the lower left that says "change settings"
    If this is a hub PC, then you will see "backup plan for all PCs" at the top left, and each of the other PCs in your Circle blow that. If your PC is not a hub PC, your screen will be different as you won't be able to configure Centralized backup from a non-hub PC.
