PLUS, get my BACKUPS ebook FREE!
(Three Days Only: Sep 9 - 11)
Earlier this year I ran a series of articles on the importance of doing regular backups. So you may remember that my recommended backup strategy involves automatic backups to an external hard drive, along with cloud backups.
If you still don't have an external hard drive, YOU MUST read today's article... I'm going to tell you about a KILLER deal on an AWESOME external hard drive for backups, PLUS a way to get my ebook "Everything You Need to Know About Backups" for FREE!
IDrive Wi-Fi + IDrive Personal Cloud: The Perfect Combo
Backups don't have to be difficult or confusing. When you have the right tools, they can be simple and automatic. That's exactly why I'm excited about IDrive, and the 1-TB IDrive Wi-Fi backup drive. It's a software and hardware combination that meets all my criteria for comprehensive backups.
Please continue reading to discover how you can get IDrive's Personal Cloud Backup for FREE, and also, a killer discount on the 1-TB IDrive Wi-Fi external hard drive.
IDrive's Personal Cloud Backup is an online backup service that lets you back up EVERYTHING -- all of your PCs, Macs, mobile devices and even social media content. It's super-easy and secure. Cloud backup is perfect for your most important documents and photos. But you need a local backup, too, for fast retrieval of files or to restore everything in case of a data disaster.
The IDrive Wi-Fi Drive is a 1-TB external hard drive with a unique feature. It's wireless, as the name implies. Why is that significant? The wireless connectivity of the IDrive Wi-Fi device enables you to backup multiple devices (up to 5) at once, without the tedious chore of connecting and disconnecting the backup drive for each device.
Let's say you have one PC desktop, a Windows laptop, a MacBook, an iPad and an a Android smartphone. Or any other combination of up to five PC, Mac, or mobile gadgets. The IDrive Wi-Fi eliminates the need to tote your external hard drive around, manually connecting it to each computer when it's time to do backups. Because it connects via Wi-Fi, all your backups (PC, Mac or mobile) can run automatically. And in my opinion, automatic backups are the ONLY reliable way to get the job done.
Even if you have only ONE computer, the IDrive Wi-Fi is still an excellent choice for backups. It's a standard external hard drive, with a TERABYTE of storage capacity. If you're doing backups for a single PC or Mac, you can connect it with a USB cable. (The wi-fi feature is optional.) You can use the IDrive software, or your own backup tool. And the price is unbeatable.
An Exclusive 3-Day Offer...
Normally the 1-Terabyte IDrive Wi-Fi device costs $99. But as an AskBob subscriber, for THREE DAYS ONLY (Sep. 9th-11th) you can get it for just $59.50. That includes one year of IDrive Personal Cloud Backup for free. Similar external hard drives with Wi-Fi connectivity cost about $159 (and that doesn't include any online backup) so this really is an amazing deal.
EBOOK BONUS: I promised at the start of this message that I'd tell you how to get my ebook "Everything You Need to Know About Backups" for free. As part of this special offer from IDrive, I'm going to include a FREE copy of my ebook (regular price: $27.95) to everyone who purchases the 1-Terabyte IDrive Wi-Fi this week.
You might recall that the folks at IDrive offered this sale back in April, and it was extremely popular. In fact, so many AskBob readers responded, they were quickly sold out. I know many of you were disappointed that you missed that opportunity, and asked if they would offer this special price again. I passed along all your requests, and they finally said YES! So make sure you take advantage of this 3-day sale now. If you don't have an external hard drive for backups, you won't find a better deal than this.
IDrive Q&A
Just in case there's any confusion about IDrive Cloud, or the IDrive Wi-Fi, here are some of the most common questions I've gotten:
Q: What exactly is the IDrive Wi-Fi?
A: It's a standard 1-terabyte external hard drive, commonly used for backups. But it has the unique feature of Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can backup multiple computers (up to 5 at once) without connecting it manually to each one.
Q: What's the difference between IDrive cloud backup and IDrive Wi-Fi?
A: IDrive's Personal Cloud Backup is a subscription service for online backups. The IDrive Wi-Fi is an external hard drive that supplements your online backup with a faster local backup. When you purchase an IDrive Wi-Fi, you get one free year of IDrive Personal Cloud Backup.
Q: If I decide to cancel my IDrive Personal Cloud subscription, do I get to keep the Wi-Fi drive?
A: Yes! Once you purchase the IDrive Wi-Fi, it's yours to keep no matter what.
Q: Can I use the IDrive Wi-Fi with any backup software?
A: Yes. The drive comes with IDrive backup software, but if you prefer, you can use it with Windows Backup, Acronis TrueImage, Macrium Reflect, or any other backup software.
Q: If I already have IDrive Personal Cloud, can I still get the 1-TB IDrive Wi-Fi drive?
A: Yes. The only hitch is that you'll end up with two IDrive Personal Cloud accounts. But you can close the second one, and use the IDrive Wi-Fi with your existing account.
A Mobile, Secure and Unique Solution
Got a smartphone or tablet? You can directly backup your mobile devices to IDrive Wi-Fi, using the IDrive mobile app. IDrive Wi-Fi lets you securely store your photos, videos, music and more from mobile devices, without the fear of losing it.
All data stored on the IDrive Wi-Fi is guarded with military grade security. Your data is protected with 256-bit encryption, using an encryption password known only to you. So the only person who can access your data is you, even if your data falls into the wrong hands.
I don't know of ANY other backup solution that combines local and cloud storage like this. Nor is there one that allows you to backup UNLIMITED devices like IDrive does. Carbonite and Mozy charge extra if you have more than one computer.
With IDrive Personal Cloud and the 1-TB IDrive Wi-Fi, all the bases are covered. Your PCs, Macs, mobile gadgets and social media accounts are securely backed up, painlessly and automatically.

Bob
