The majority of support enquiries we receive about this issue is the result of the bank displaying the authorisation on the statement, authorisations are part of normal bank processing and are automatically resolved by your bank. Authorizations are removed as soon as the actual charge is applied however some banks can take a couple of days to resolve them.

In most cases banks inform the customer about the authorisation with a visual hint, such as using 'pending' in the description. Authorizations ensure that there is enough money in your account before any funds are transferred.

If you suspect this is not the case please email unrecognized@Zipcloud.com Last Update: 02/20/2013

There are some dangers in using an external hard drive for backup which do not exist when using a cloud service:

- Just like a primary hard drive, external drives can and will one day fail

- Experts recommend backed up data should be kept a minimum of 250 metres away from the original data in case of fire or water damage

- External hard drives can be stolen, not only meaning your back up will be gone but your sensitive data will be available to the thief!

- External hard drives that don’t require an extra plug all drain laptop batteries, those that do need a plug socket are cumbersome to use on the move

- Backing up to an external drive requires input from you, our software is automated and means your data is kept up to date in the cloud

We maintain secure Google Cloud Storage data servers which cannot lose your data, your data is not only safe but also secure – it is encrypted and no one but you can access it. Last Update: 04/30/2013

Once you have backed up files technically they will remain backed up forever. We do not delete files after a certain time or have any input on the up keep of your account, the only way files can be deleted is by yourself through the control panel. Last Update: 02/20/2013
