IDrive - Completely Easy Backups

Let's take a look at IDrive from Mac, Linux and Windows perspective, and also take a look at the powerful web interface. Not bad for the cost.

All that is great but how do i download a folder as a whole from idrive?

[@Studio3BRocks]

Good question I believe you have to restore to a location

[@poochyboi]

So when i back up a drive, does it automatically add the new files that are added to it? if not how do i keep that backed up drive updated without having to reupload the whole drive every now and then?

[@Studio3BRocks]

Based on the schedule you set, yes

I was wondering if it is possible to keep my HDD in sync with the saved HDD copy in idrive?

[@Studio3BRocks]

what OS are you running?

i guess Idrive is based in the states ... this will mean a surcharge for uk clients .. just like backblaze does

IDrive is probably fine for backing up small documents or Excel files. However, it's NOT suitable for storing large video files. Downloading or restoring them can take an extremely long time. Recently I attempted to restore a 230MB MP4 file, it estimated that it would take 6 hours to complete at speeds ranging from only 10-30kbps. I had to eventually terminate the download as I couldn't leave my laptop behind for 6 hours. I tested a few days later and getting the same download speed.
With 300GB of files on IDrive, I'm now so so regretting about my decision to use IDrive. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

I agree I use local nas for large files only. In RAID1 with external hdd backup
