Then there's also some less obvious functions, including that iDrive only uploads modified parts of files to reduce bandwidth usage, the way data gets retained until you specifically delete it, or the extensive set of activity logs and reports you can access. This is capped at once per year for Personal customers and three times a year for Team and Business subscribers, though subsequent requests are always available at the cost of $59.95.

All paid users get access to these physical backups via a temporary storage device, which is especially handy for those with poor Internet connectivity. For example, there's Snapshots, which lets you store up to 30 different versions of your files, an Express service that lets you put your data on hard drives and actually post them off, and the ability to create full disk images in case you need to rebuild a computer from scratch. It’s really hard to accuse iDrive of being short on features. IDrive for $3.98 per year (opens in new tab).However haven't looked at possible cli for that yet to do things outside of using the native backup option from the nas that can integrate with various S3 compatible providers.View Deal (opens in new tab) iDrive features Still cheaper than aws or azure for their object storage options (not opting for the aws long term backups in Glacier as those are way too expensive in case a restore is needed in the TB range) at around 5$/TB/month. So for my nas for example, instead of looking into the unlimited backup option from Backblaze to backup specific data (to backup around 1TB of photo's on my pc), I chose the S3 compatible B2 (to backup the nas that keeps the photo's in sync with a sync app on the pc). As I doubt any of them unlimited backup options is sustainable in the long run (google seems to have shown this year there is a maximum on their service for an individual users?) and because I would be in it for the long run (not wanting or needing to extract backups to yet another cloud provider) and possible longer retentions, I rather choose to use $/GB/month offerings for object storage services, even if they turn out to be more expensive even if it is with the same cloud provider.
