I recently switched my Online Data Backup service to IDrive and I must say that it has really impressed me alot. The service is very fast and offers a decent desktop client and an explorer plugin for quick file/folders backup.
You can easily configure scheduled backups, manage bandwidth use, perform fast restores and backup data on mapped drives.
* Keeps deleted files for 30 days
* Can backup file changes as often as every 10 minutes (real time backup)
* Saves up to 30 versions of a file (file versions)
* Can manage multiple accounts through a single account
* Has a bandwidth throttle for controlling bandwidth usage (auto-controlled upload/download speed)
* Can backup file changes as often as every 10 minutes (real time backup)
* Saves up to 30 versions of a file (file versions)
* Can manage multiple accounts through a single account
* Has a bandwidth throttle for controlling bandwidth usage (auto-controlled upload/download speed)
This service is extremely easy to use and provides backup scheduling by the day, week, time and month. It provides continuous backup and can be configured to backup changes in files as often as every 10 minutes. IDrive can also backup mapped drives such as from external drives that are connected to your computer. You can even restore from a specific time frame and not just from the most recent backup.

IDrive Support for up to five computers in one account and saving version. The web interface and fast operation are welcome but can not be mixed Mac and PC and there are still some rough edges and compared to the competition. However the service has improved since our last review.
