Idrive backup review upgrade#

IDrive offers both business and personal plans, and they let you upgrade from a personal to business plan without having to re-upload your files. IDrive has smartphone apps available for the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android, and their service is compatible with both Macs and PCs. They let you go back and restore deleted files for an indefinite amount of time for up to 30 versions. They also offer a “Restore Wizard”, a step-by-step process that helps you restore lost files to their proper place on your computer. IDrive offers file sharing capability, which allows you to share your files with another party. They also let you create different versions of files. IDrive allows you to customize your backup sets so that it will only back up the files you want. This saves bandwidth and keeps future backups from slowing down your computer. IDrive also performs incremental backups, meaning it only backs up new or changed files.

Note that our review does not apply to IDrive's Unlimited plan, which is lacking several features of IDrive's personal plan, such as Mac compatibility, bandwidth throttling, and true archiving. You have the option of setting your backups to be performed continuously or on a schedule. Using IDrive is as easy as downloading their software and then selecting the folders you want to have backed up.
