# Removal of the Online backup feature in Remote Desktop Manager

***Online backup*** is a deprecated, cloud-based feature that was used to save workspace information online.

***Online backup*** was removed from Remote Desktop Manager as the feature relies on infrastructures and technologies no longer supported by Devolutions.

### Switch to *File backup*

If you currently use the ***Online backup*** feature, it is recommended to [use the ***File backup***](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/file/backup/backup-settings/) instead to save your data in a local file protected by a master key.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you do not wish to keep the backup file locally, you can place it in a folder synchronized by a cloud provider of your choice (i.e., OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox).
{% endhint %}
