the Most Important Step To secure your data
Regardless of what goes wrong, without a good backup of your data your data may be gone forever.
With one step, we back up all your computer’s data to our encrypted online backup storage. We do this every day, and we monitor the backups so you can go on with your life knowing your data is protected.
Computers and hard drives fail. They get stolen. Fires, floods, and hurricanes happen. Lightning strikes that fry computer electronics happen. Ransomware is a real and growing threat. The only way to protect against all forms of data loss is to maintain an off-site backup that is updated regularly:
- A drive in your house that you back up to doesn’t protect against your house burning down or burglary.
- Saving to your cloud drive protects against site failures but doesn’t protect against ransomware.
- Manual solutions fail, because backups are boring, and are easy to forget.
We can can up your entire computer, automatically, for $4 per month
- It’s affordable. $5 per month for any quantity of data, or $48 annually if you choose to pre-pay for the whole year.
- Backups will happen regularly. We will manage your backups via our panel the same way we manage our business clients’ backups. If they start to fail, or are no longer happening, we will notice and can reach out to alert you to the problem.
- Everything gets backed up. We will copy every file on your hard drive so regardless of where you saved your data, we will have a copy of it.
- Works with Windows and macOS.
- Protects against deleted files. When you delete a file, our backup is still there. If a file is accidentally deleted and you don’t notice until tax season next year, we can recover it provided you backed it up at least once.
- Encrypted. AES-256 encryption protects your data as it’s transferred, and while stored.
- Managed by real people. If you are in a hurry or in a panic to restore your data, we can do that for you. Give us a call. That is not a free service, but it is available on short notice.
The Platform
We are reselling a well known, well tested, well reviewed backup product called iDrive. We have tested the product and find it meets our needs and the needs of our clients.
The advantage of buying through us instead of directly is simple: we manage it for you. There are no settings for you to accidentally mess up. It won’t stop running randomly and leave you silently unprotected. The software will be patched and maintained by us, remotely.
When the day comes that you actually need your data recovered, we will be here to walk you through recovery of it via e-mail, or for an additional fee we can recover it for you directly.
Would you prefer a self-service solution?
That’s not a problem at all. We’d rather see you secure your data yourself than not at all.
Our offering is $5 per machine, unlimited data. Maybe you would prefer to back up lots of machines, with a data limit instead? iDrive can still do that for you.

What you’ll be giving up is having us watch for failures, and being able to call us to restore your data when you’re already having an overwhelmingly bad day. But you will still be subscribing to an outstanding backup service that is very affordable and quite resilient.
