  • Data is secure

    Your data is secure!

    Your files are encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption and are quickly transferred to your IDrive account.

Data is the life-blood of your business, an asset you would never want to lose. Onsite data storage using NAS (network attached storage) devices, such as Netgear, is a good and cost-effective way to protect your digital data, as it ensures faster backups and recovery. However, complementing the on-premise data storage with a reliable offsite backup solution ensures that your business recovers from any data disaster with ease.

IDrive online backup provides your data the protection it needs. The IDrive solution is secure, scalable, affordable, and it comes with a dedicated Netgear Backup app, which makes online data backups, from your Netgear storage device, faster and simpler.

You can backup your NAS device to the same account that can backup your other computers and mobile devices. With IDrive’s Netgear Backup App, you can perform immediate backups and restores, automate your data backup jobs, receive email notifications on completion of scheduled operations and view all of your activity logs in detail.
