This is an impressive list Darren. But I had to say that you have not included one of the trusted and pioneer services like IBackup for Windows. The PC World in a review of 17 online file storage services had recently rated IBackup as the `best all-around backup service’.

I stumbled upon IBackup while I was on a search to save my important personal and official data. So far I’ve been pretty comfortable with their service. For me they are not just meant to be an online storage and backup service, but operations with the application has been safe and secure and there is 256-bit AES encryption on storage.

IDrive enables you to map the IBackup online storage account as a local drive on your computer. You can then drag-and-drop, edit and save files in your online backup account using IDrive. To store and play my video and audio files, I use IDrive Multimedia , another variation of Network Drive technology. The multimedia files can be played with any media player and the streaming is instantaneous.

Another advantage of using an IBackup account is that the `Mirror path’ option in IBackup for Windows enables you to maintain the exact directory structure of files or folders selected for backup from your computer. With their Snapshotsfeature an IBackup account holder can view the files and folders stored in his IBackup account during the previous days. It works like a data history. IBackup for Windows maintains the log of all the sessions of interactive and scheduled backups or restore and the user can watch them.

Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.

Keep up the good work.
