Backing up your data in a new way

When I think of qualities like availability, saving of space for my data back up, unhackable encryption, unlimited storage, near real time backup of frequently changing data or CDP (Continuous Data Protection), ability to manage multiple accounts from single admin account, access to backed up data with fast search options, one name comes to my mind and that is IDrive - Online Backup.
Besides all, it is free up to up to 2GB.

What can you use it for?
You can store your photos, all media files, all your important data.

Using IDrive is very handy and easy.
Either you use the integrated user-friendly interface, which works like Microsofts Windows Explorer, or you specify a Virtual drive, which allows you to drag and drop your files and folders.
If you go for the CDP, all your changed data will be backed up every 10 minutes.
You also can use a synchronize function which keeps your backup up to date and also removes redundant data.
There is also a Web-based search feature, with which you can locate your files and folders.
A very important fact is that you ca access your backed up data from any location as long as you are connected to the internet.


And "IDrive has been recently awarded the PCWORLD '101 best freebies'"!

IDrive appears to be a reasonable online backup option. But I hit the 2GB limit in just under 2 hours from start of my backup!

They need to increase the 2GB limit for free users.

Is anyone else offering more than 2GB for free backups?
