• What's your backup strategy?

  Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup. Source: over 2 years ago

• 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

In google searches I found that for those who don't want to make a business out... Source: about 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
