  • Hanford,

    Thanks for the tip. You brought up some other issues I hadn't originally thought of. It looks like we both agree that it's the best thing available even if we want a couple tweaks available in the next revision.
  • IBackup for Windows for secure backups of important data. IBackup has been around for some time and from my own experience I recommend it for fast and easy backups and restores.

    IBackup is fast and it does incremental and compressed backups. IBackup is like an extra hard drive right on your computer and it allows you to store your important documents and files securely online. It also protects you from data loss caused by system crash, drive failures, virus attack and theft. Using their easy-to-use wizards, you can easily do interactive backups, restores and schedule backups and restores. You can backup data by `mirroring,’ which maintains the absolute path of the source files. You don’t have to worry about security, as all data transfer is encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption.

    You can `map’ your online account as a `local drive’ on your computer and work on the data as you normally do. For this you will have to download and install IDrive. With IDrive share files or folders with others for collaborative access. All you need to do is just create a sharable links for the file/folder and email the links.

    You can `privately share’ data with another IBackup user with the help of Web-Manager. In other words, an IBackup user can instantly share selected data with another user. This feature can also be turned off whenever required. You can use Web-Manager to share files by creating sharable links and emailing them to others. Besides backing up multimedia files, Web-Manager allows users to easily manage multimedia files and photos with options for slideshow of photos backed up.

    You can also check out IBackup Professionalthat lays special emphasis on security and data retention. The data files backed up using IBackup are encrypted on transmission using 128-bit SSL and the data files are stored by default encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption and automatically decrypted during restores. The encryption is done based on a user defined key, so the data stored on IBackup Professional servers cannot be decrypted by anybody other than you.
