Overall Satisfaction with IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2

Managing my own backups for my small business became more of an issue as business grew and more data needed to be managed. As a small business owner careful budgeting is a key to success and thus we researched various source for cloud backup and storage, looking for a cost effective system with a user friendly interface and solid 24/7 live support. IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 storage was selected and fully lived up to the advertised capabilities, ease of use, and rapid access to support. Our only need for support was to answer a technical question as to how to swap out one of our external drives for a new one. Support was available within 5 minutes by phone, the question answered, and drive swapped out.

Pros

  • Simple to use interface
  • Sufficient options for our needs
  • Very useful tutorial

Cons

  • Clearer explanation of how the desktop program interacts with the web based access site and which has priority over backup
  • Cost effective for our small business as we no longer need outside expertise to set up and trouble shoot internal backup.
  • Moved to one networking internal data drive backing up to iDrive,
As a small business, we needed to manage IT costs. IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2's effectively allowed us to do this ourselves rather than rely on outside contractors.
We have used Carbon Cloner which, while very reliable, was more difficult to use when in support of expanding data needs.
