The Dashboard

The dashboard is an at-a-glance view of your IDrive account. You can view, manage, and monitor your IDrive account activities from the dashboard.

Remotely manage your PCs, Mac, and Linux with robust reporting tools in near real-time response.

I selected IDrive as it met my requirements plus has a way of selecting backup policy both on the web and locally - good for managing laptops remotely.
