One of the headache of being overly dependent to computer is to manage the data we store. And yeah it’s my headache too. I have various school data, which means my schedule, my learning materials (which includes presentation slides, pdf version of articles, and what-nots), and some other things. Not counting my music and other media things I have in my computer. (I guess it’s a no-brainer reason why my previous laptop quit on me)

I own an external hard disk. But in a short time it’s already full of my backups. The troublesome thing is that eventually I have several versions of backup, which is not really necessary. And in just a short period my external harddisk is bloated.

Then I suppose this is the way to go.. online backup! No worries of deleted files (shit can happen to external harddisk, as you know). And no worries of several versions of backups since it automatically updates the files. And the best reason is that it’s automated! It’s the way to go for busy people (like yours truly). And it has an easy interface, just like windows explorer. Go, you Window$ users!

Idrive offers free service and paid service. The free one gives you 2GB space, which is quite good enough if you don’t have enough data. Well honestly it won’t fit me since my music library alone is almost 4GB. But the paid service, I think, is not so expensive considering the ease of backing up your files automatically.

Manual is out. Automatic is in.
