Pros

“For example, I have a couple of programs (including Macrium) that occasionally lose their key settings files on one of my computers. If I can't restore in a simpler way, I can restore the last good copy from a backup with a minimum of fuss, seeing & even opening the file(s) in question before restore.”

“The ability to make bootable rescue media to repair or re-image failing PCs has empowered our technicians to get way more issues fixed with fewer trips.”

Josh B.

System Support Manager

“It has always been a rock solid backup utility, I use it for all our PC's either through Reflect Workstation or via Macrium Site Manager for remote recovery. If a PC is trashed or a new HD installed then the Rescue media on a USB stick can always do the job.”

Mike W.

General Manager

Pros

“Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.”

Jamie E.

Analyst

“As well as using iDrive for remote access of my data when I'm on another device on the go, I have fully retrieved my data when a device failed (PC and laptop), without the need to get a tech to pull the data out for me.”

Kimberly C.

Certified Online Business Manager

“Overall, it has some lacks in the storage like syncing, fast access. But, at the same time the pricing is good”

Md A.

Research Development

Cons

“Support has its own site, but their system doesn't recognize my credentials and I never received the reset key.”

Michael D.

Grand Guru

“Even though we have good source control and production data is safe, if my laptop fails it can be a major irritation. ”
