Step 4
Choose the transport company that you will use for shipping. On that company's website, prepare
and print two prepaid shipping labels:
1. Shipping label for sending your hard drive. This label is placed on the top of the box. You should
send your package to one of the Acronis data centers. The data center address can be obtained
on the Initial seeding / Recovery tab of your account management page by clicking Datacenter
address.
We recommend that you use overnight shipping, if you want to start doing incremental backups
as soon as possible. The data is generally available the next business day after the data center
receives it.
2. Shipping label for returning your hard drive. Put this label in the box. When returning your hard
drive, we will reuse the same packaging unless it is damaged. If you do not enclose the label,
your drive will be securely discarded.
You might want to use the most cost-efficient delivery method for having your hard drive
returned.
