IDrive's True Archiving – Your Personal Data Storage Solution
November 20, 2019Growing dependency on digital files calls for proper archiving because regardless of the profession or business you belong to, when a crisis comes, you always fall back on old records to take reference. However, archiving data files within hard drives isn't a great idea. You never know, during an unfortunate event of fire or theft, you might lose everything in a matter of a few minutes! So how to ensure that each of your files is archived and you are always on point with your data? Well, IDrive comes to your rescue here!
IDrive Cloud Backup with its 'True Archiving' feature helps you store your files in your cloud account for as long as you want and restore even after years. With IDrive, even if you accidentally or intentionally remove a file from your computer, it will always remain in the cloud. Also, IDrive allows you to restore up to 30 previous versions of the same file.
Get the 'Versioning' Advantage!
Every time you backup a file to your cloud account, IDrive keeps versioning them. This way, even if you find a version of a corrupt file in your machine, you can restore the same version from your cloud backup account. The best benefit is, you can restore up to 30 previous versions of the same file. However, you might not find these files if you have deleted it from your cloud backup account manually or using the 'Archive Cleanup' feature.
What is Archive Cleanup?
Archive Cleanup is an option in your IDrive Online Backup application through which you can manually delete the unwanted files from your cloud account. The 'Archive Cleanup' option compares the files present in your cloud account with the files existing on your computers, selected for backup, and then deletes the ones that are there in the cloud and not on your devices.
