What It Is

IBackup is an online backup and cloud storage service from Pro Softnet Corporation, positioned for small-business data protection. It is not just a basic file-sync drive; it is a cloud backup platform covering PCs, Macs, Linux, mobile devices, servers, databases, and application data from Microsoft 365/Google Workspace.

Core Capabilities

Its core features include scheduled automatic backups, incremental backup, continuous data protection, compression, encryption, versioning, log reports, file sharing, and web-based management. For business use, its support for open files, mapped drives, external hard drives, NAS, system state, and server environments such as MS SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, VMware, and Hyper-V is particularly valuable. For team management, IBackup supports sub-accounts, allowing multiple accounts to be created under a shared storage pool and monitored through an administrator console. It also supports web access, search, management, and data sharing.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is mainly based on storage-capacity subscriptions, with monthly, annual, and two-year payment options. The site shows an entry price of $9.95/month, with the 10GB plan offering 500GB during the promotion; higher tiers go up to a base capacity of 500GB, with a promotional allowance of 25000GB. Overuse is billed at $2/GB/month. Office 365 backup costs $20/seat/year with unlimited storage, while Google Workspace backup costs $20/seat/year with 10TB per seat. All plans include a 15-day evaluation period, but the terms indicate that the trial may require a credit card and may automatically convert to a paid subscription, so business buyers should pay attention to cancellation and renewal rules.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are broad backup coverage across endpoints, databases, virtualization, and SaaS applications; support for private encryption keys and two-factor authentication; references to compliance information related to HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, SEC/FINRA, and GDPR; and transparent public pricing. Downsides include the lack of visible documentation for an open API or developer platform, somewhat scattered product materials, potential cost fluctuations from overage fees, and no clear information on mainland China network performance, payment options, or Chinese-language localization support.

Who It’s For and Access from China

IBackup is suitable for small businesses that need a low-barrier way to centrally back up multiple computers, servers, and office-suite data, especially those with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace data protection needs. Access from China is unknown, and payment appears to be mainly by credit card. If local access speed, invoicing, RMB payment, or China-specific compliance requirements are important, it may be worth evaluating alternatives such as Alibaba Cloud Backup, Tencent Cloud Cloud Backup, Veeam, Acronis, and Backblaze Business Backup.
