At this time I have not had a successful backup in over 2 months. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

There are also well done sharing tools. I also tried Memopal that offer 250GB free, still in beta version. There are also well done sharing tools.

I thought it was a great service but if you plan on ever restoring large amounts of data (like 47 G), FORGET IT. They can't do it. They tried to restore by web - failed. They tried sending DVDs - 3 out of 12 were defective and unusable. They said they'd re-send but never did. It's been about 2 months. Then they said they'd send a "hard drive" - and then they didn't do that. BEWARE - if you actually need your data recovered and it's a lot, they are unable currently to do that well. It's been a nightmare. BEWARE of Mozy. I thought it was a great service but if you plan on ever restoring large amounts of data (like 47 G), FORGET IT. They can’t do it.

There is absolutely no limit on the upload or download size for backup and restore. IDrive-E performs 'totally hands-free automated backups' of files and folders. It also does incremental backups that transfer only portions of file that have been modified or changed since the last backup. The user-friendly application allows you to restore large number of files with a simple drag-and-drop using the Windows Explorer like interface. All data transfer is encrypted with 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Strong. IDrive-E also has 256-bit AES encryption on storage with an encryption password key provided by the user while installing the application. IDrive-E has automatic schedule backup that will be continued even during machine logoff state (NT service mode). There is an option ‘Automatic Power off after scheduled backup’ with which you can automatically shut down the machine after the completion of scheduled task off-peak hours. IDrive-E retains 30 versions of backed up data and you can restore any version from these 30 versions. You can also restore latest versions of all your files or versions of files as of a specific backup set. Of the two interfaces you can work with, the <a href='http://www.idrive.com/ide_classic.htm' rel="nofollow">IDrive-E Classic interface</a> is a simple Microsoft Windows explore like interface used to backup and restore files and folders.
