You can back up to local destinations without this trickery if you select “hybrid” backup when you’re asked. However, the process is slightly convoluted in that you must define your local PC’s file system as an “online” destination. While CloudBerry Backup Free is great for backing up or syncing from service to service, it also can back up to local destinations such as USB hard drives, NAS boxes, and other PCs on your network. You may, of course, work around this by using the Dropbox and iCloud clients to keep a copy of the data stored locally, but it’s not quite as elegant. iCloud is not supported, but that’s because Apple doesn’t allow this type of access. CloudBerry said it was looking into supporting the service. My minor issue with CloudBerry Backup is that it doesn’t support Dropbox, which is where I keep all my public and work-from-anywhere files.
Note the “File system,” option which is used when you want to copy files locally. With the exception of Dropbox and iCloud, CloudBerry Backup Free supports just about every online service we can think of.
