The iBackup service comes with software that's designed for backing up folders on your hard disk, and to save you even thinking about it, this can be scheduled to occur on a regular basis. Enhanced Plans store each day's file changes so you can restore to an earlier date. Files are transferred via a secure connection and are automatically checked for viruses.

Your online storage space can be configured as a network drive to let applications, such as Microsoft Office, load and save files directly to it. WebFolders can be set up and media files can be played directly from your online drive. An image gallery facility lets you find and browse all the photos, and your files can be accessed through a web browser too.

iBackup has more features than rival services and good software – only Xdrive comes close. Up to 200GB is available and while it is not cheap, it isn't an expensive service either.
