You can think of it in the same way you think of a backup copy of a paper document—that is, if you lose the working copy of the paper document, you go find the backup copy. In other words, the primary copy of your files or data will be maintained as the working copy on your machine. If you delete the working copy on your machine and then run a backup, Lenovo Online Data Backup will assume that you no longer need a backup copy, since you got rid of the working copy, and will mark the file to be removed from our system in 30 days. (We keep it on file for 30 days, just in case you change your mind.) After 30 days, you cannot get these files back. If you want Lenovo Online Data Backup to keep the files after they are deleted from your computer, this is referred to as an archiving service and is currently not offered.
