IBackup is an online storage provider that allows for basic file backup options with the added peace of mind and security that online backup solutions are known for, while also providing some unique features currently not available from all online backup storage providers.

One of the special features IBackup provides for users is file sharing. Not all online storage options have the capabilities to offer file sharing for their users. And with file sharing provided through Ibackup, your friends don't even have to have an IBackup account to view the files you share with them. As long as you invite them they can view the files you designate to be shared. Also, the files you share can be password protected to keep them secure and, both you and the recipient can be given the ability to lock the file to prevent any unwanted overwriting.

Also, IBackup allows you to use the IBackup Drive feature which will map your IBackup files to a network drive. This will allow you to drag and drop files between the two drives making the process of backing up your files even easier.

If you need to do a large initial backup (100GB or more of data), IBackup will make it quick and easy for you by mailing an external USB hard drive or Snapservers to your home or office. This way, you can very simply backup everything onto the external drive and send it securely back to IBackup. From here you can backup as needed via the IBackup Drive.

IBackup also provides you with the option to email file attachments directly into your online storage account. Another way to make the process of backing up your documents even quicker!

And, IBackup will also provide you with email notifications regarding the day's activity. You'll know right away of any situations where the backup failed, what files were backed up, and any other activity that took place that day.

While there are a few other online backup providers that give users these options, IBackup is one of the few to have them all in one package. Online backup protection is a bit more expensive at IBackup when compared with some of the competators, but the old adage is definitely true "You get what you pay for"!
