+Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options

INTRODUCTION

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This feature on Logi Options allows you to backup the settings of your Options supported device

automatically to the cloud after creating an account. If you are planning to use your device on a

new computer or wish to go back to your old settings on the same computer, log into your

Options account on that computer and fetch the settings you want from a backup to setup your

device and get going.

HOW IT WORKS

When you are logged into Logitech Options with a verified account, your device settings are

automatically backed up to our cloud by default. You can manage the settings and the backups

from the Backups tab under More settings of your device (as shown in the screenshots below):

Manage settings and backups by clicking on More>Backups.

AUTOMATIC BACKUP OF SETTINGS - If the ‘Automatically create backups of

settings for all devices’ checkbox is enabled, any settings you have or modify for all of

your devices on that computer are backed up to the cloud automatically. The checkbox is

enabled by default. You can disable it if you don’t want the settings for your devices to

be backed up automatically.

‘CREATE A BACKUP NOW’ button - This button allows you to backup your current

device settings yourself, if you need to fetch them later.

‘RESTORE SETTINGS FROM BACKUP’ button - This button lets you view and

restore all the available backups you have for that device that are compatible with that

computer, as shown above.

The settings for a device are backed up for every computer that you have your device connected

to and have Logitech Options that you are logged into. Every time you make some modifications

to your device settings, they get backed up with that computer name. The backups can be

differentiated based on the following:

1. Name of the computer. (Eg. John’s Work Laptop)

2. Make and/or model of the computer. (Eg. Dell Inc., Macbook Pro (13-inch) etc.)

3. The time when the backup was made.

The desired settings can then be selected and restored accordingly.

WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP

Configuration of all the buttons of your mouse

Configuration of all the keys of your keyboard

Point & Scroll settings of your mouse

Any application-specific settings of your device

WHAT SETTINGS ARE NOT BACKED UP

Flow settings

Options app settings

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

1. The device settings aren’t compatible between Windows and Mac operating systems. So,

the settings from Windows operating system cannot be applied to a computer with the

Mac operating system and vice versa.

2. There are some features that are available only on certain versions of Windows operating

system. For example, triggering Cortana through a mouse button press is a feature

available only on Windows 10 and not on Windows 7 and 8 as Cortana is not available

on those operating systems. In such cases, those features cannot be applied on the

unsupported operating systems.

+Logitech Options permission prompts on macOS Mojave

For official macOS Mojave support, please upgrade to latest version of Logitech Options (6.94

or later).

our Options software for the following features:

Accessibility access is needed for scrolling, gesture button, back/forward, zoom and

several other features

Notifications feature and keystroke assignments under different applications need access

to System Events

Search feature needs access to Finder

Preferences

The following are the user permissions the software needs for you to get complete functionality

for your Options-supported mouse and/or keyboard.

prompt (similar to the screenshot below) the first time you use this feature. Please note that this

prompt appears only once, requesting access for a specific item. If you deny access, all the other

features that need access to the same item will not work and another prompt will not be shown.

features.
