Online Back-UP Services

June 29, 2007 By Robert Owen

I am interested in another layer of back-up for my important files and have considered trying one of the online back-up services.
There seem to be a quite a few out there and most of them offer a free version, paid personal, and business. Anyone have any experience with these???


  1. IDrive-E
    • free:2GB of storage space absolutely free Option to upgrade to the IDrive-E Pro version depending on user requirements remote backup features remote backup signup
    • remote backup drive:Ideal for small and medium businesses (SMB segment) or individuals with very large backup needs. For a small fee, this service gives you unlimited storage space for your backups.
    • IDrive-E Pro for Personal Use: Unlimited storage* space for just $4.95/month for all your backups! Opt for yearly plan at $49.50 and get 2 months free Drive-E Pro for Business
    • 50 GB $9.95/mth $99.50/yr | 100 GB $19.95/mth $199.50/yr | 500 GB $49.95/mth $499.50/yr

    • 10GB $19.95/mth $199.50/yr
    • 50GB $49.95/mth $499.50/yr
    • 100GB $99.95/mth $999.50/yr
    • 200GB $199.95/mth $1999.50/yr
    • 300GB $299.95/mth $2999.50/yr

Working from a PC platform here and just wondering if anyone has an opinion on any of these services. Reliability, ease of set-up, client set-up, etc. In my opinion a tape back-up would be the way to go but that is just not an option right now. Why you ask…. I'm cheap! 😉
