CodeGuard is now transitioning to Xcitium Backup!
Important: We’re enhancing your backup service by transitioning from CodeGuard to Xcitium Backup.

What to expect:
 
  • If your subscription is set to renew on or after May 15, 2026, it will be automatically moved to Xcitium Backup.
  • Backups will begin on your provisioning date in Xcitium Backup.
  • If you have any critical backups, we encourage you to secure and download them. Please refer to the steps below.
  • The Xcitium Backup service becomes available in your account seven days before your renewal date. If you manually renew your subscription, please note that your request will not be processed until the 7‑day timeframe begins.
No action is required; we’ll handle the transition for you.
