13 Oct 08 Automated Backup Solutions
The other night I was reading a research report published by one of the leading technology magazines based out of the USA. The research based on empirical data concluded that most individuals know very well as to how costly a hard disk failure and the resulting data loss can prove to be but do not take any risk mitigation effort mainly because they tend to procrastinate. I’ve experienced this myself. Backing up of data is usually always postponed to tomorrow which invariably never comes.
This is was why I was very excited when I found IDrive Online Backup, a service which provides a way to completely automate the data back up process. iDrive provides a desktop client which when installed in the computer communicates securely with the server and stores a copy of the files which are in your computer, on their server. The data is encrypted and the server is very secure. Hence there is no need to worry about your precious data falling into the wrong hands. The iDrive backup client is available for Windows as well as Mac. There are two different plans available. iDrive Basic plan is provided totally free of cost. You are given a disk space limit of 2 GB under this plan. iDrive pro is for those who require a lot more storage space. At just $4.95 per month for a storage space of 150 GB, this plan sure is value for money!
