Affordable and so far a breeze

I had heard about Idrive 5 years ago and when doing cost comparison always found them to be the best bang for the buck. I have had several laptops crash but had always been lucky to avoid data loss by constant local backups. It was time to buy a new local backup storage, when my laptop crashed and I lost crucial data I should have backed up on the cloud. My fear was also privacy of my data and the fear that online backup is complicated and fails. I finally dove into the deep end and subscribed and the prices are far more affordable than 5+ years ago. So far I have backed up all phones without a hitch, and 2 1 TB laptops with no problem. It did give me problem and partially backed up over 3 TB of my back up drive (which took 5 days to process and that is not bad actually). Now I have to sort what did back up. I have a lot more to learn about the interface as it has a lot of options, as repeated full backups, or syncing, and other back up options for servers etc. So far I am enjoying this and am at peace that my files are secure. I love love the option of live support. No live phone support is a deal breaker for me.
