Online Storage Solutions

Hubby and I decided a couple weeks ago it was time to reformat his computer. He’s been having trouble with a few things not working properly, and because he doesn’t keep a lot on his hard drive it is just easier to reformat rather than troubleshoot. Unfortunately I had just about maxed out all the space on my hard drive, so I really didn’t have the room to backup his stuff on my computer.

I thought about using iBackup’s Online Storage as an alternative to deleting things from my own computer to make room for his stuff. I like how iBackup allows you to transfer all your files to a safe location online where you can retrieve them later. iBackup has added a new feature that makes it easier than ever to keep up with and retrieve your files. Now you can download a handy little program that maps your iBackup account as a drive on your computer. You can drag and drop files without much hassle just as if you were moving files from one folder to another.

I didn’t get a chance to use the service because my 500GB SATA arrived for my new computer just in time to move everything, but if I run out of room in the future I’ll definitely be giving iBackup a try. For now I’ll just move hubby’s stuff to my new pc via our home network before reformatting his.
