Overall Satisfaction with IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The main problem with my old backup solution is that it took a long time to backup. This would hamper productivity. My projects require immediate backup for safe keeping on an ongoing basis not just at a later time.

IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 is a big improvement. Backups are a lot quicker now.

My main job now is music composition and I sometimes need a quick restore to an earlier version and IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 satisfies that need especially with the ease of use and robustness of a backup & restore.

Alternatives Considered

I was a successful computer consultant for almost 30 years and always used a competitors product for small single computer businesses (without servers)or home business users. Now that program has become sluggish and expensive.

I had used IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 a long time ago. I decided to give them another try and I was very satisfied with the results. Quick backups and restore at a lower price point. It is just a better product and ideal for small business or home businesses. Also very good for anyone wanting to protect their data by having a continual backup with minimal load on their productivity. It seems to be just right for anyone wanted data protection.
