IDrive Backup Doesn’t Recover Snapshots

Let’s say my computer was stolen today. I would want to recover a snapshot of my files from yesterday’s backup. As part of that, if a file of mine was deleted 5 days ago, I don’t want it in my snapshot. IDrive isn’t capable of that :-(

This is totally unacceptable because recovering from a lost/stolen computer is half the reason I pay for backups. I’m now shopping around for another backup system.

 

Here’s an example of IDrive failing at the task:
