IDrive Cloud Backup's Customizable Scheduler

Today, with the huge load of personal data we save on our computers, most of us are looking for an easy, effective way to backup the data. And, in the era of the Internet, online backup has become a part of the core data protection strategy - safely storing files and ease of access. The popularity of this process stems from its affordability linked with storing data off-site, and an easy-to-use, trusted disaster recovery plan.

However, the shocking news is that even people who have set up a cloud backup account may still lose data in the event of a disaster; since their files might not have been protected. One of the most common reasons users fail to backup their files is that they need to manually initiate the data transfer process.

The Scheduler from IDrive helps you create a custom timetable for data transfers to automatically occur, whether you want to set a data transfer start time, choose your desired day(s) of data transfers in a week or schedule it on a daily basis. Moreover, Continuous Data Protection (CDP) when enabled, follows this up with transfers of new data or any change that has been made to an already existing backed up file.

Notification Preferences with IDrive Cloud Backup
If your scheduled data transfer fails without your knowledge, you can get notified of the same. All you need is to select the 'Alert me if the schedule backup fails' option from the 'Settings' tab to the number of days you want and get notified accordingly.

Stay Updated
You can select the 'Notify always' option to stay updated on all that's happening with your scheduled data transfer, or just select 'Notify on failure' for failure notifications only. The 'Notify me on desktop' from IDrive allows you to view the status of your scheduled jobs on your desktop screen.

Bandwidth Throttle
You can set the Internet bandwidth to be used for your scheduled data transfers when your PC is in use and when it's not. By default it is set to 25% when your PC is in use and 100% when it's not in use.
