IBackup - online backup and online storage Support

Snapshot/LTA


IBackup's desktop applications and Web-Manager (the browser-based application) are powered with the Snapshot technology that allows you to retain changed data history for a period of time. Currently, daily snapshots have been set to 10 previous copies (may change without notice).

The additional storage requirements for Snapshots has no impact on your account's storage space.

On selecting 'Show Snapshots', you can view files that have been stored in your IBackup account recently under newly created directories with appropriate names. The backup directories have an indicative name with date/ nightly.*/weekly.* extensions.
