My first Sim family was based on my husband and me. I loved that family and played them almost exclusively for at least a year. One day the computer crashed, and my beloved Sim family was gone in an instant. Heartbroken I couldn’t stand to play The Sims for at least a month. If only I had a backup of my game files then I could still be playing my wonderful Sims family.

We all have heard how important it is to backup our important files. I have learned this lesson the hard way with my Sims game and other instances. Computer data can be corrupted and files damaged beyond repair without any warning. A backup strategy can make sure you don’t lose important information.

IDrive is an online backup website that offers an easy and affordable way to backup your important files. IDrive has a free version that users can store up to 2GB worth of data. IDirve Pro packages begin at $4.95/month. Sign-up takes less than two minutes. Once you sign up, you have to download the IDrive software (6MB file) and install it on your computer.

Getting started is easy. The IDrive demo will show you everything you need to know about how to use their Windows Explorer interface. You can easily send files to your IDrive by browsing to the file and checking the box next to it.

You can also schedule automatic backups of your files.

You can easily protect photos, MP3s, game data, and other files with IDrive that makes backup easy, painless, and affordable.
