Vembu explains how their cloud backup and restore work?
According to Vembu: “Cloud backup has become an intelligent move for current and next generation IT professionals. It is a modern strategy for backing up data to a cloud backup server. The server is usually hosted by third party service providers who charge a fee based on the capacity and number of users. If you choose daily backups, the data transfer happens automatically every 24 hours. Your backed up data can be accessed from anywhere at anytime.”
IDrive explains how their Hybrid Backup works
According to IDrive: “We’re a taking a new approach to backup, giving our users the best of both worlds with our new Hybrid backup feature. IDrive users can now backup their critical files locally and also in the cloud. Local backup solves one of major pain points of online backup, slow restore speeds. Backing up large amounts of data becomes easy as well with local backup, as the large data sets do not have to be backed up over the internet, as upload speeds can be slowed but rather locally, which offers faster backup.”
