    Hi Everybody,
     
    We experienced a temporary issue where some users were unable to access their backup folders. This should be fully resolved now, and no files were lost.
     
    Let us know if you have any issues,

Hi felipesfc, sorry to hear about that! 

 

Based on what Sam, our Community Manager mentioned, we had a temporary hiccup. 

 

Could you try again, and let me know if you still notice the same behavior? 

 

Keep me posted!

Yes, I was able to access the files on the same day a few hours later.
