Lets face it. Most of us are too lazy to back up our files frequently. However, having experienced a system failure recently, I know how hard it is to loose important data. Since I’m too lazy to burn files into a DVD, as often as I’d wish to, I thought I’d try one of those online backup services. When I searched in google, the first result that I got, read IDrive - Online Backup. On doing a bit more research, I found that IDrive is one of the top providers of online backup service. They had recently been awarded the “101 best freebies” award by PC World. Using IDrive you can search your backed up data easily, through an internet browser. IDrive also provides you the ability to backup frequently changing data on a near real time basis. The service is absolutely free of cost and provides you with 2GB storage space. If you’d like to increase this to 150 GB, you will have to pay a nominal fee of just $4.95 per month.
