Heinrich Koch is a second-year college student. Last semester his best friend had his laptop stolen. The laptop was an old computer that he planned to replace soon, but the greatest loss was his data: he had not performed a backup and all his data was lost. Heinrich himself does not perform data backups but knows that he needs to do that on a regular basis. He has decided to use an online backup service that will automatically back up his data whenever it changes. Evaluate and compare reviews of online backup services. Consider iDrive, Carbonite, Acronis True Image, BackBlaze, and others you might find in your research. Recommend a service that you consider the best solution for Heinrich. Discuss your reviews and mention speed, security, and features in your recommendation.

Because of its various features, pricing, and usability, IDrive reviews suggest that it is a very efficient online backup solution. However, there have been complaints concerning its speed and the fact that there are no monthly plans available.

b. Carbonite

For this, we have:

Speed = 60% - fair

Security = 100% - excellent

Privacy = 87% - very good

Pricing = 85% - very good

File backup and restoration = 75% - good

Carbonite reviews reveal that it is simple to use and provides limitless backup for one device. The main drawback is that it has extremely poor backup speeds.

c. Acronis True Image

This is fast, simple and intuitive

It has complete control over the backup updates, including how and when they occur.

It is not expensive.

Acrnonis True image is a powerful backup storage service. It enables data and file backup and restoration from USB drives.

Many reviewers of Acrnonis True image have stated that they have had no issues with its service, that it is worth purchasing, and that there are no concerns.

d. Backblaze

For this, we have:

Speed = 75% - good

Security = 75% - good

Privacy = 70% - decent

Pricing = 100% - excellent

Support = 95% - excellent

Features = 65% - decent

File back-up and restoration = 70% - decent

Backblaze is one of the most popular internet backup services. This storage service, however, does not allow for ustomization.

Recommendation

Acronis True Image is the one I would recommend out of these mentioned online backup services. This is due to the fact that it delivers a large amount of accurate and high-quality data storage. It is quick, simple and intuitive, which is what most people care about. Furthermore, reviewers have stated that this service is quite effective and that there have been very few issues with it. The other services demonstrate that their services have flaws, such as lack of customization and slowness.
