# Connect Clouds/Servers

> We highly recommend to take your backup to another clouds or server, because self-hosted backup is not the secure-way.

We highly recommend to take your backup to another clouds or server, because self-hosted backup is not the secure-way. You can easily add/edit/delete your favourite clouds and servers.
