iDrive user for over 10 years review of iDrive Backup.
I have been a user of iDrive Backup on my PC since September of 2013. I use it to backup my valuable documents and photos. I have thousands of old family photos I have scanned in, so these are very precious to me. I have almost 5 TB stored on iDrive. I have setup up the iDrive app to run nightly backups and it sends me an email telling me what was backed up and if there was any issues. Over all the years that I've been using iDrive there has not been a time that I needed to restore something and it was not on iDrive. One of the best features I like about iDrive is the versioning. That saved me recently when the file on the computer size was 0 kb, so I restored from the version before. I would have spent hours recreating the data in that file. Another recent event where iDrive saved me. I recently purchased a NAS and moved files from internal hard drives to the NAS. Apparently the program that I used to do the "move" didn't do it's job and I wound up with missing files. iDrive to the rescue again. I downloaded what I had stored on iDrive and was able to rebuild the folders/files on my new NAS. All of this has happened in the last few months. iDrive does what it is supposed to do. Another point I want to make is their support. The few times I called iDrive Tech Support I always get to speak to a human, which is unusual these days. I'm picky about Tech Support, as I was in IT for many years, but I have no complaints about the support I've received from iDrive Tech Support. I'm a very satisfied customer, thank you iDrive.
