    Hi. I run CBB on Mac OS X El Capitan and I use compression and encryption.

    I cannot find in the CBB documentation how to do the following. If my mac get stolen or if I loose it, and I buy a new mac, what is the procedure to restore the backed up data to the new computer?

    Thanks.

    please check the following blog: https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/how-to-restore-data-from-amazon-s3-to-a-new-computer/

    It’s for Windows but the steps are the same for Mac. The main thing is to provide the same account and prefix.

    Thanks for your quick reply Julia.

    The UI is not entirely identical. The procedure above says "Click on the “File” menu and select “Amazon S3 Account…On the “Amazon S3” tab click on the “Add” button". On CBB for Mac, the destination types do not appear under File.

    I suspect that what I need to do instead is to add a new Backup Storage, and then follow the steps above?

    Right. Please let me know if it works and sorry for inconvenience because of lack on Mac specific documentation.
