The Crusaders

Time again I’ve been writing about online storage and backup, their importance and then associated them with IBackup Online Backup as it is a leading online backup, storage and sharing service for consumers.

“IBackup is undoubtedly the most flexible service on test, as it not only offers backup for your machine but online storage that’s available through the Web, FTP and virtually everything else.” PCPRO

Last time I had written about ILite which was its version for iPhones. But along with that this service was included for Mac computer too with the name IBackup for Mac which I did mentioned in my last post too. IBackup for Mac is easy-to-use, secure, reliable online backup and restore application for backing up files and folders for your Mac.

I have written about online storage and back up provider IBackup a couple of months ago in the post titled Online Storage and Backup. Briefly, online storage means storing your data online somewhere in remote servers so that it can be retrieved anywhere anytime and even in cases your data is lost in your PC, it can be backed up from the online source. IBackup as I’ve already mentioned in my previous post is a leading Online Storage and backup for small businesses.

Recent enhancements include ‘IBackup for Mac’ which is a desktop client build for Mac. But the latest news is that IBackup has been optimized for the iPhone device too with its introduction of ILite. It’s the newest feature that has been added by IBackup just for handheld devices like iPhone, Blackberry, PocketPC and Treo. With ILite, you can access and share data while on the move using your iPhone and other handheld devices. This way it’s much more flexible than before as you are even able to download and open your word, excel and text files and view images in your iPhone, Blackberry or whatever. Cool!!! Huh? I think so too. You can just browse ilite.com on your handheld device and login to your IBackup account to access your data. Easy as it can get.

ILite features:

• Easy navigation between folders
• Provision to share your files/folders with associates
• Provision for your associates to view the shared files/folders on their iPhone/handheld devices

If somebody asks you a question that “What is the most important thing in your computer”, then what would be your answer? Some may say pictures…for some songs might be the answer and for some their office documents may be what is important to them. Whatever may be the answer, the next question that may arise is that “What have to done to protect those important things of yours?” The most probable and common answer will be that they have backed up all their important stuffs in some other drive/separate partition in their hard-drive or even burned those stuffs in CDs and DVDs so that if something happens to the hard-drive, those stuffs can be backed up from the CDs and DVDs.

Storing and backing up your data in DVDs is a pretty smart idea which may be handy of somehow you hard-drive is terribly damaged/crashed and data couldn’t be restored from it anyhow. But the again the question that might arise is that “What if the DVDs are damaged? What if fire is caught and everything gets burnt? You surely can’t read from burnt DVDs and CDs. What then?” The only answer is “Online storage and backup”. The system of Online Backup has gotten quite popular nowadays and many big business houses are using it to backup their data in case something really terrible happens in future.

One of the leading backup service providers is IBackup which charge a nominal fee of just $9.95 per month for 10GB online storage space where you can store your important files. You can first give a shot to its free demo service and if you think it’s worthy you can get its full fledge service. Before you needed to download the software to use it but recently they have included the ability to manage backups through browsers from anywhere. So, it’s even easier than before to use now.
