IDrive Cloud Backup provides protection for your data

April 30, 2021

Cloud backup solutions have boomed in the market during the last decade due to their simplicity and affordability. These solutions let you save your data in an offsite location, and as your data is stored in the cloud, it is accessible from anywhere, anytime. But there’s a lot that you must consider when choosing a backup solution as your data is invaluable for your business!

Imagine that your data is deleted from your devices but not backed up for long, then there is very little or no chance of recovering the lost data. But if your data was backed up with IDrive, you can surely recover it. The ‘True Archiving’ feature in IDrive Online Backup ensures that your files are sent to your cloud account and stay there as long as your account is active.

With IDrive, even if you accidentally remove a file from your computer, it will always remain on the cloud, which means you'll always have access to your files unless you don’t manually delete files or use the 'Archive Cleanup' process.

What is Archive Cleanup?

Archive Cleanup is a feature on your IDrive Online Backup application, with which you can delete files from your cloud account. The ‘Archive Cleanup’ option compares your cloud account files to the files stored in your device included in the backup set and then deletes the ones present in the cloud and not in your device. This feature is great to free up space in your online backup account.

Your data is secure with IDrive Cloud Backup

IDrive uses the best-in-class security. Your files are encrypted during transfer and storage, using military-grade 256-bit AES encryption. IDrive also offers the option of Private Key encryption, which is defined by you and not stored anywhere on IDrive servers, thereby ensuring only you have access to your backed-up files. Not just that, your data is stored in our data center with world-class facilities like smoke detection, fire suppression systems, motion sensors, 24/7 secured access, video camera surveillance, and security breach alarms.

What does IDrive free Cloud Backup Offer?

  • Multiple Device Protection - You can protect data from all your PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices into a single account. It doesn’t matter how many devices you own, IDrive makes backing them easier to one account, at one price. Unlike other cloud services that charge per computer or device, IDrive securely protects data from any number of devices into one cloud account for one low fee.
  • Server protection with uninterrupted service - You can secure data from running databases and servers - MS SQL Server, MS Exchange Server, VMware, Hyper-V, MS SharePoint Server, Oracle Server, System State, Office 365 Mailbox, and Linux Servers, without suspending them. This means you have an interruption-free operation while backing up your data, ensuring efficiency with no downtime.
  • Save multiple file versions without using extra space - All the files backed up previously to your cloud account can be retained. You can restore 30 previous file versions to any location on your local computer. The additional storage for the previous versions has no impact on your account's quota, as your storage is calculated only for the most current version.
