Backing up local data to the cloud is a special function Octoparse offers to our Professional or higher plan users. This allows you to back up any data you've extracted after running a task on your local device directly to the Cloud, without a fuss, so you would be able to access the data on a different device, via API integration. The data can also be exported automatically into databases through our auto-export tool.
We even have Auto Backup to Cloud for you! Read this article to see:
Backup to Cloud manually
1. Run the target task on your device
2. Go to the Task List
After the run is completed or stopped, go to the Task List
Find the target task and then click on All Data (local device)
Click on Cloud Backup in the bottom right corner
Wait for the process to finish, then click Complete
Now go to the Task List again and your data has already been backed up to the cloud!
Note: When the data is backed up to the Cloud, Octoparse will detect duplicates automatically and delete them.
Auto Backup to Cloud
You can also choose to automatically back up the data of a task every time the task finishes scraping instead of manually doing it.
Click Task Settings
Select Auto-export
Tick Auto Backup to Cloud
Your data will be backed up to Cloud Automatically when your task is completed, or the task is stopped.
Tip: You can check the local run history and find the Backup column to see if the data has been backed up to the Cloud. If you have run the task multiple times, you can also choose the ones you want to backup, or click Backup All to Cloud.
