And the hits just keep on coming: 5 GB online storage space from AOL

Posted on August 3, 2006 by Guest Contributor

big2.jpgThis is a step in the right direction, for those who think that AOL has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. Forget the days of useless CDs sent in the mail; if AOL plays their cards right, this is what people will remember. AOL has announced that, starting September, www.xdrive.com will offer 5 GB of free online storage space to all users with an AOL or AIM screenname!

Additionally, there is mention of a drag-and-drop interface between online storage and your desktop. More details to come in September!

    For a secure, reliable and fast backups of your valuable data, you can rely on a pioneer online storage service called IBackup for Windows. None other than PC World has recently rated it as the `best all-round backup service’ in a review of online backup services.

    I’ve been using IBackup for Windows that not only backups up my critical data, but also allows me to schedule backups. It has easy-to-use wizards for interactive backups and restores, and also scheduling backups and restores. You can even drag-and drop files and folders to get these backed up.

    Even a first time user will find it easy to perform various operations with it. IBackup for Windows, by default, does not consume too much bandwidth as it compresses data during transmission and transfers only modified portions of changed files for faster execution of backups.

    IBackup is miles ahead of others, because it has IDrive that maps your IBackup online IBackup account as a local drive on to your computer allowing you to drag-and-drop and edit files in your online backup account, as if they were on your PC. With IDrive, there is directory and file caching for faster read access and file transfer could resume even after temporary disconnections. You can instantly stream multimedia files backed up using IDrive Multimedia . IDrive for Mac is an excellent desktop interface for working with your IBackup account and Mac. IBackup supports backups for UNIX and Linux based computers using rsync, the open source utility that provides fast incremental transfers. rsync does this by sending just the differences in the files across the Internet, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand

    To `privately share’ data, you have to use Webmanager. This cool feature allows instant sharing of selected data with another IBackup user. There is an option to disable `private share’ at any time. In order to share data with your friends and partners, all you have to do is to create sharable links and then email these links.

    You can create Sub-Accounts with Web-Manager. A Sub-Account is an IBackup account that you can create on any folder in your online backup account to provide access only to files in that folder to colleagues and business partners. For more information on all the other features of IBackup, please try their free trial.
