   Excellent backup service

   By far the best backup service I've used. Reasonably simple to use but also extremely powerful. Support is excellent and the Snapshooter team have been highly responsive and are pro-active in adding new features and backup "recipes" for common scenarios. Once you're comfortable with the process, setting up a new server connection and backup jobs takes just a few minutes.

   👍 Pros:    Good UI|Great customer support|Supports many cloud storage|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Long lists of jobs unwieldy

   Backup with clarity

   Backups, done.

   A good range of options for backups of files to config and previous databases and much more. Only use a handful of integrations. Lots of options around scheduling.

   All administered from an easy to use web interface.

   Use their storage or your own is flexible to ensure multiple copies reside.

   Restore is good too, that’s quite important I’m told ;) clear to see steps needed.

   The support is great and responsive too.

   My con is in the context of wanting certain integrations without the rest of the higher plan features. It’s a minor niggle really :)

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|Clean ui|Support team always ready|Reliable|Reports

   👎 Cons:    Costly pro plan

• idrive security concern

  I'm just testing idrive service and maybe I'm missing the point but it looks that anyone who gain access to idrive.com is able to get any file from any local drive, I mean any file. And even there're no notification that I should enable 2FA. And this mean that some employees could get access as well. Source: 6 months ago

• Site unreachable via Starlink

  With ZERO changes made to any of my devices, I am now able to reach idrive.com from all my devices. Source: 12 months ago

• Best Cloud Storage for Photos

  Hello, I'm interested in what cloud service you use to store your photos and if you only use one cloud service or several, "just in case" . I think it would be interesting to analyze from our own experience relation to price/quality/security ratio/possibility to access thumbnail photos and also to give upload access for a directory. In google searches I found that for those who don't want to make a business out... Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for a competitively priced service to host files for my study group

  If you're really just wanting to store the files, then iDrive is pretty hard to beat on pricing - they've been running a 90% off promo on their 5 TB plan for a while now to where you can get a whole year of it for only $7.95 (total, not per month). Even on non-promo they're near impossible to beat on pricing. Source: over 1 year ago

• iDrive doesn't delete remote backup files?

  Is there a way to set it up so that I can sync my folder to reflect all local changes? I only need it one way. I don't access these files from other devices, nor do I go to idrive.com directly, so I will never need server->local syncing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Sometimes my MariaDB server gets stuck (stops inserting) after snapshotting, any idea what's going on?

  I run daily snapshots on my Hetzner VPS with https://snapshooter.com (it just triggers a shapshot daily via Hetzner API, I do it while the server is running), and sometimes the snapshotting absolutely wrecks my server:. Source: almost 2 years ago
