IDrive Online Backup Announces 'IDrive Unlimited,' Allowing Backup of an Unlimited Amount of Data

CALABASAS, Calif., March 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro Softnet Corp., a long-time pioneer in online backup and offsite data storage and developer of IDrive.com, announces the launch of IDrive Unlimited. IDrive Unlimited allows an unlimited amount of backup from a single Windows machine at only $49.50 per year. This new plan is offered alongside IDrive's 5GB free Basic plan and their Pro plans which vary in size from 50GBs to 1TB.

Customers can try IDrive Unlimited free for 30 days by starting a new account at IDrive.com, there is no credit card required for trial.

"We created IDrive Unlimited in response to feedback from our customers," said Stephen Gold, Business Development Manager at Pro Softnet. "We had always stayed away from unlimited storage plans because of the growing amount of data being produced, i.e. we wouldn't be able to sustainably backup an unlimited amount of data while providing the level of security and performance we always have with IDrive Pro. However, we had many home users saying they would still like an unlimited backup option from us, even if it meant sacrificing a few of IDrive Pro's benefits."

A breakdown of the new IDrive Unlimited plan:

• $49.50/year and no contract, customers can cancel at any time. There is a 30-day free trial available.
• Files deleted from the Backup Set (files selected for backup) are removed from IDrive's servers after 30 days.
• After 150GBs of data is stored IDrive restricts the speed of backup to 200Kbps max, restore speeds remain uncapped.
