It doesnвЂ™t overload you with needless information, and when you install the software it takes you through a simple wizard that scans your computer for files it thinks you want to back up. There's a small main вЂњStatusвЂќ window that shows you only the important stuff: a big вЂњStart BackupвЂќ button, a big вЂњRestore FilesвЂќ button, and a bit of info about whatвЂ™s been backed up. I would expect someone with a 100 Gigabyte backup to save about $700вЃ„yr using this option.MozyHome is a little ugly, but its interface is mostly easy to navigate. I have heard excellent reports on JungleDisk, and if someone has very large backups, ranging in the 100 gig range or above, then the savings available from this option add up, particularly if the backups, once uploaded, didn't continue to have a lot of traffic so most of the charges would be storage only. Their software costs $20 and the extra service (called Jungle Disk Plus) costs $1вЃ„month. This makes much more sense for large backup stores.

They have placed their own servers in Amazon's data centers so they can offer block level backup instead of full file backup. Grabbing the opportunity is a company called Jungledisk with backup software that works with S3 and also a service offering improvements. But, there is no real support and no software. While you'd pay about $25 to $30 per year from Amazon's S3. You can get 10 gigabytes from Ibackup for $100вЃ„yr. However, even adding it all up, the cost will come to about 25 or 30 percent of the cost of Ibackup (probably even less).

Amazon charges a small fee per gigabyte plus a fee for bytes uploaded and another fee for downloading. They don't offer any software, however their prices are very low. They just provide the servers and the billing. Amazon offers a wholesale disk storage option called S3. The most interesting alternative is one I haven't checked out, but would actually like to try it. They seem to cause more conflicts, and have more frequent problems, but they cost less and may work well for you. They are less expensive, less robust options that work pretty well. I have used and have clients using both Carbonite and Mozy or MozyPro backups.

They mirror their backup server center, so your backup would not be lost even if their data center were destroyed in a fire or earthquake.

They answer their phones quickly and respond effectively.

Technical support is available if needed.

It provides a simple way to access and restore files.

It provides a simple clean efficient online interface to manipulate and check backups.

It allows you to easily share your files from your backup with others in a safe and secure manner.

It offers easy access to all your files from the Internet.

So, while some backup programs are unable to backup Evernotes, or Outlook or Exchange Server while they are being used, and open, Ibackup can. Ibackup has advanced features that are very useful for some people:

I have tested other products and found this one superior.

It doesn't slow down your computer or have a large overhead. I have placed a dozen clients into it supporting backups for over 20 computers.

I have been using Ibackup for over 2 years.

Plans with enhanced features and subaccounts cost considerably more. These basic plans maintain this price per gig. For $199.50 per year or $19.95 per month you can purchase 20 gigabytes of storage. Most of my clients find the 10 Gig plan perfect, which costs $99.50 per year (or 9.95 per month). The basic Ibackup plans, which I use and most of my clients use, costs $10 per Gig per year. Since it is off site, neither fire nor theft can destroy your backup.

In case of fire or theft your backup remains.

You just set it up and then it happens, every day or even every hour. The best one I've found after a lot of research and testing is Ibackup. I am a big believer in online backups as a part of our backup system.
