They do have something called snapshots, so you can see the version of all your files from a certain date. On the client, if you drill down to the file and right click the file you can see older copy’s. The versioning works on the client, but I am still not sure if you can restore older versions of files from the web interface. It seems fast and I have not found any documented transfer speed caps like other backup solutions have. I have not had any issue with restoring files. I use this feature to backup some files on a Linux box I have. It can also back up mapped network drives. I have both setup, so the scheduled backup can catch anything that is missed. IDrive can backup files when it detects a change and it can also do a scheduled backup. So now instead of naming a device folder based on the device name, I try to use generic reusable names. I guess it is not a big deal to have old computers on the account it just bugs me to see them. You can clear out the data, but the device folder can only be removed if you reset your whole account and start the backups all over. One annoying thing I have noticed is you can not remove old computers from your IDrive account. So that is nice since I am an IT guy and I have more than 1 computer at different locations.
Beyond the storage, there is no limit to how many devices the backup client can be installed on. IDrive plans give you a certain amount of storage. In case things change I wanted to let everyone know I am on Version 6.7.1.0 for this review. I have used IDrive for a year now so I thought it might be a good time to do a review.
IDRIVE BACKUP REVIEW SOFTWARE
I have used a number of different types of cloud backup software over the years and my current backup is IDrive.
