In today's digital work environment, documents are vulnerable to multiple risks including hardware failure, accidental deletion, sync conflicts, and version control issues. Manual backup methods often prove inconsistent and time-consuming, while traditional cloud storage may lack intelligent organization and version tracking capabilities. A reliable, automated backup system is essential for maintaining work continuity and data integrity.

How to Configure Backup

Open WPS Office and locate WPS AI in the left navigation panel.

Extra Tips for Customized Backup

When configuring your backup preferences, you can tailor local settings to match your work patterns. The backup panel offers options to adjust backup frequency between intelligent, scheduled, or incremental modes, along with storage location selection.

If you prefer backing up specific files rather than entire folders, use the manual backup feature. Simply navigate to the manual backup section and select individual documents for protection—ideal for prioritizing confidential files or managing project-based materials separately.

What Distinguishes WPS Backup

Unlike conventional backup software that functions independently of document editors, WPS integrates backup capabilities within the authoring environment—enabling continuous version tracking and seamless restoration without reliance on external applications or complex configuration procedures.
