FAQ

What is the difference between Smart Backup, Scheduled Backup, and Incremental Backup?

1. Smart Backup adjusts its frequency based on the time needed for document backup.
2. Scheduled Backup creates a backup after the document is modified and the set interval is reached.
3. Incremental Backup backs up document changes in real time and helps reduce storage use.
4. If you want fewer manual adjustments, Smart Backup is more suitable. If you want a fixed rhythm, use Scheduled Backup.

Why does Incremental Backup not take effect immediately?

1. Check whether Incremental Backup is selected in Local Backup Settings.
2. Restart WPS when prompted.
3. Open the document again and continue editing, then check whether the related backup is created.

How do I restore a backup file as a new editable file?

1. Open Backup Center.
2. Find the target file in the backup list and double-click it.
3. After confirming the content, click File → Save As.
4. Save it with a new file name so it does not overwrite the version you are currently using.

Why does cloud backup say there is not enough space?

1. Cloud backup depends on WPS cloud space.
2. If the remaining storage in your account is low, new backup uploads may be affected.
3. You can remove cloud files you no longer need, or choose a higher storage plan if needed.
