Review

We really like iBackup for business class level of service. We did a few test restore and found they were much faster than many of the less expensive options. When have to recover a lost file time counts so the sooner you can get it back the better.

Install and Set Up
The service sign up was straight forward and easy to get through. After that we downloaded and installed the back up client on each of the computers that needed to be backed up. If you are backing up multiple computers you will want to be sure to check the "Multiple PC" option. If you have just one computer nothing to worry about.

We set the schedule and the email notifications and let the computers start backing up. It took a few days to make it through the original 20GB upload but now each computer only takes 15 to 30 minutes to back up each night.

One very nice feature that you do not get with other less expensive companies is that files are not automatically deleted from your online account when they are deleted from your computer. Many of the other companies to save on space will delete files when they are deleted from your computer, while this saves them space it means you could loose one of your valuable files.

iBackup is not the cheapest service but well worth the few extra dollars per month.

Review

For some reason iBackup keeps adding multiple pst files to the backup. I'm not sure if that's happening on our end or iBackup. But, it has put us over our limit. iBackup lets us know and I go in and remove the extraneous pst files. We have not been charged for overages.

We have five users to backup. It took a while for the initial backup (between 5 and 7 days for ~6 GB) for each user. iBackup allows one to reduce the amount of bandwidth it uses (for example, during the day) so that the backup continues, but does not affect hard workers goofing off on the internet during the workday.

There are settings so that iBackup will send an email verifying that the daily backup was successful. Daily backups, depending on the amount of files changed in a day, require less than 30 minutes.

The software is pretty intuitive.
