IDrive-E Consumer Online Backup
If you’ve ever been faced by a hard disk failure or a crashed PC/laptop, you’ll know that when I tell you that there is a free and easy way to create remote back-ups of your system, without having to pay someone, it is something worth looking into.
IDrive-E.com offers IDrive-E Online Backup, 2GB of free remote backup space without any backup and restore restrictions or bandwidth limits or file type restrictions. They also offer the Pro version at $4.95 a month for unlimited remote backup space. But if you’re just an individual or family whose main concern is remote storage of photos, document files and media files to protect them from crashes and free up your disk space or would like to try out how stable this system is, then the 2GB free, encrypted versioning capable feature is for you.
It is ideal to create a disc copy and a remote backup of your personal files so that if your PC fails you’ll be able to recover precious data. When it comes to computing, I’d recommend redundant backup of files since your PC may fail, and in the unfortunate event, your disc may fail to be read when you’re ready to recover data you’ve stored there. Yes, it’s happened to me before. Ugh.
