Version: IDrive Online Backup 3.2.6
Pros: Easy to use interface, customizable data backup sets that are easy to understand. Can get an extra 10gb of space for free. Lost/Forgotten passwords are retrievable. AES is VERY STRONG encryption.
Cons: Security could be an issue since password is retrievable if you forget/lose yours. Also password does not allow non-alpha characters.
Summary: I love this program. Gives me piece of mind knowing that the REALLY important stuff is backed up off site. Doesn't seem to be a bandwidth hog but I leave my pc on 24/7 and backup in the middle of the night. Things that should be customizable are such... read more

"0/10 if poss. This is comment for paid version. AVOID"

Version: IDrive Online Backup 3.2.6
Pros: Easy to use with lots of settings for advance users but simple layout for novice users.
Free online backup software!!
As fast as your connection can take.Cons: You only get 2GB AT FIRST as you can email 10 people (or fake addresses) and get an extra 10B free for life! Thats 12 free GB!!
Not great to look at but it does the job very well.
You need to check its back up what you want alot.Summary: It does not take up many system resources but you dant have to have it running, just run it when you want to backup. Also fast uploading as only the edited part of a file is uploaded. It also keeps past versions of files! read more
