IDRIVE BACKUP REVIEW FOR MAC

This is not the case for many other online backup applications. In the options you can select daily, weekly or monthly backups with notifications on your computer or sent to your email when a backup has been started or if an error occurred.Īlso, if you go into advanced settings there are more selections to make the backup run smoother. They include scheduled backup, continuous backup, and backup now. This process could be easier, but it’s still works well for me. The only issue that some people may have would be trying to search for files.

It looks like Windows XP’s Windows Explorer or Mac’s Finder when you are browsing through documents. IDrive’s backup is simple for users who have worked with folder hierarchy. So, if you take the time to figure out what you need, the software is a great tool. If you view the error log, for instance, it will read in a way that anyone can understand. For the most part it's not too technical. The software allows the user to feel in control. The opening tab is the selection for backup and there is an obvious tab for restoring which makes understanding the process easy for everyone. A great design feature is that they simplify the backup and restore process. I was simply relieved to see options like auto throttle, scheduled backup and more. The software is better than other backup software in terms of functionality. But, if you make the right selection the first time, it will work out fine. This process can be confusing and should be fixed. If you make the wrong operating system it will make you sign up again to change the selection.

The only issue I had with the installation was accidentally selecting the install for Mac instead of PC.
