How does it work?
Once you receive the temporary storage device, securely transfer all your data using IDrive's Local Backup and ship the device back to us.
We will transfer your data from the device onto IDrive's primary storage devices. You can then proceed with incremental backups through the online backup process.
Once you request for the retrieval of data, most recent version is taken from the IDrive servers and saved to a temporary storage device. It is then shipped to you.
All you need to do is plug the drive into your computer via the USB cable and restore your data to your system using the IDrive application. You must return the storage device that we send you after you restore your data.
Note:
- This service is not available for accounts created prior to 10-31-2011.
- The service time does not include the time the drive remains in the customer's possession as it is beyond our control.
