It has been a while since cloud backups were covered...I am currently using Idrive - a choice I made after Crashplan dropped out of the consumer space. I have two devices (Windows PCs) to back up and very moderate needs - about 30 gigs at present. I run 2 very small companies (1 employee each). So I am looking at consumer-level options.There were a number of threads on cloud-based backups some time ago - the result being largely in favour of Backblaze. I found and tried Idrive simply because it suited my needs and charged by the amount of data (1 TB) with no per-device charging or limits. I dont need versioning - I simply need to recover the latest version of any file. Backblaze is more expensive than Idrive with 2 devices involved. With Idrive as I have it set up primary backup goes to the cloud (and therefore off-site) while secondary backup goes to an IDE drive connected to my modem through an IDE-USB enclosure - very crude but it gives me the ability to restore files without internet access if need be.I would be interested if anyone can suggest a consumer-level backup solution for Windows devices that costs less than $80 per year for, say, 50+ Gigs of online storage and the ability to backup to local devices.
