PCMag Review: IDrive Online Backup

- Type: Business, Personal, Professional
- OS Compatibility: Windows Vista, Windows XP
- Notes: $4.95/mo, $49.50/yr; 2GB free.
The powerful capabilities of this online-backup service almost made me forget that I tore my hair out unearthing them. Almost. IDrive goes beyond the offerings standard in consumer online backup services, with drag-and-drop file restore, backup-set searching, and Web-based viewing of backup logs. The free Basic version allots up to 2GB of storage, and, where most rivals give you extra space for a set time if you refer acquaintances who then join, IDrive permanently adds 10GB to free accounts just for sharing five e-mail contacts. Pretty cool. The problem? IDrive’s bewildering interface.

1I use this company called Prolifix. I have a macintosh and they are one of the companies out there that support pretty much all platforms. The allication is rather easy to use and I was able to upload and download with easy. Eitherway, the Offise backup has saved me several times. I must say if it wasn’t for thier offsite backup services. I most likely would have been put back by at least 5-7 months. Thanks Prolifix!
