I am normally very picky and critical of any app or service, but I would be hard pressed to fault iDrive. Carbonite has cut back on its support availability, both hours of operation and hold times, whereas iDrive techs were always available. Both the agents in India and the US were incredibly knowledgeable, and would not end the call until the issue was 100% resolved.

On the first day, I spoke to 3 people at iDrive one in sales and two in support. iDrive lets you back up as many computers/servers/mobile as you want, a much more practical feature. Yes, Carbonite does not have a storage volume quota, but it charges you a subscription for every device you wish to back up.

iDrive lets you know regularly what percentage of your quota you have used, so you have plenty of time to increase it. I do not find the iDrive Personal 5 TB storage limit to be a problem at all. Again, trying to find out exactly which files Carbonite ignores is almost impossible. Carbonite does not, and you only discover that deficiency when you need to restore a file that Carbonite has not backed up. Also, iDrive backs up every kind of file (except some useless temp and other transitory files). Compared to Carbonite's opaque app, where you are never clear on the effect of any change, iDrive makes everything clear and obvious.

The Windows iDrive app is the most intuitive user interface I have seen in a long time. I have to say that iDrive is a magnificent product. I was a user of Carbonite Backup for many years, but a growing number of deficiencies motivated me to sign up for iDrive Personal 5 TB backup.
