Norton Backup Now Less Secure On Multiple Computers?

I just did some more testing, and it appears that backup still functions as it did in the past, eventually. Today I tried restoring both backup sets from desktop computer A and both backup sets from laptop computer B, and all four times it failed. I was logged out from the app on the desktop and laptop as well as my account on Norton’s website.
Yesterday I was still able to restore both sets from desktop A while logged out, BUT I think perhaps it takes a bit of time for this logged out status to update server side at Norton, as today about 18 hours later or whatever I can no longer restore anything. This is the behaviour I want as I am usually logged out of Norton everywhere, and if anyone gets access to either computer, they can’t pull anything from the backup sets at least.

fwiw ~ I remained Logged out on this machine since our visit yesterday. At this time…I’m able to call Restore from both backup sets (this machine & my spare machine). At this time…appears, I’m able to restore files from my spare machine to this machine. I’ve cancelled Restore calls.

Note: I’m Signed in on my spare machine.
Note: from my Signed in spare machine. At this time…I’m able to call Restore from both backup sets. I’ve cancelled Restore calls.

as test: I’ll Sign out spare machine now and re-test later.
