Online Storage Backup - Idrive Free Give You 2Gb Storage

, , , ,

We all know how important file backups are but if your saving to another hard drive or burning to a cd and still keeping them in the same building you could be making a big mistake. We think having multiple backup files is all we have to do to be safe but you might be missing the big picture. What if there is a fire and you lose everything? This is where online backup comes in handy. I use Idrive online storage which gives you 2gb free storage, most others only offer paid versions. Ok, 2gb isn't alot but you can upgrade to Idrive Pro for a small fee of $4.95 a month for unlimited storage.

64 MB RAM for 32 bit Edition, 256 MB RAM for 64 bit Edition

10 MB free hard disk space for the installed program. 20 MB or more recommended for local caching

Administrator privileges to install and use the application

Some of the features offered are listed

Remote backup - Hands-free automated and Continuous backup. No complicated scheduling procedures

Continuous Data Protection - Automatic backup of modified files at almost real time (every 10 minutes)

Easy drag n drop restores using Windows Explorer like interface

Fast and efficient backups by compressing data during transmission

Directly add your files / folders from Windows Explorer to your IDrive-E backup set

Enhanced security with 128-bit SSL encryption on transfers, 256-bit AES encryption on storage with a user defined key that is not stored anywhere on IDrive-E servers

Don't put yourself at risk and consider an online storage as a way to keep your important files safe.

Microsoft also offers 5g free online storage called skydrive, I also use skydrive and find it very user friendly.
