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.
