Nobody can disagree with the importance of having a good off-site backup plan, but the expense of it tends to put it out of reach for the average home user.  Well, the folks at IDrive-e have a solution.

For free, you get 2-Gigs of remote storage.  More then enough for most people to back up their critical documents. 

Just install their fully automated software and you can either active continuous back-up or scheduled.  Choose your folders that you’d like backed up ant that it!  Restoration is just as easy!

Should you outgrow your 2-Gig quota, you can easily upgrade to unlimited  storage for less then $50/year.. (see site for details).

I’ve been running the IDrive client flawlessly for a month now, though I won’t give up my current backup configuration I do enjoy the added confidence of having yet one more backup drive to rely on.
