IDrive 360
Your team’s work lives on laptops that get lost, broken and encrypted. Every one of them needs a copy you can go back to — IDrive 360 backs up laptops, servers and phones to IDrive’s cloud under one console, keeps 30 days of locked daily snapshots — and prints its price: $29.90 a device a year at renewal, with 10 TB of storage per device.

Understand endpoint backup before you choose a service
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is endpoint backup?
Endpoint backup copies the files on laptops, desktops and servers to separate storage on a schedule, so a lost, broken or encrypted machine can be restored.
Sync folders and a USB drive vs IDrive 360 — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Sync folders and a USB drive | IDrive 360 |
|---|---|---|
| Where laptop work lives | On the laptop, and in OneDrive if the user remembered | A scheduled backup of chosen folders to IDrive’s cloud |
| After ransomware | Synced folders that copied the damage everywhere | A daily snapshot locked for 30 days, picked by date |
| A dead or stolen machine | Rebuild from scratch and ask the user what was lost | Restore files, or re-image a Windows machine whole |
| Knowing backups ran | Nobody checks until the day it matters | One console with alerts and reports by device and job |
| Paying for storage | Drives and NAS boxes bought as each one filled | 10 TB per device inside the per-device price |
| What it is NOT | — | Not a local appliance, anti-malware or instant VM boot |
The cheapest test is the 7-day free trial: every feature on, enough to back up a PC, a Mac and a server and restore one of them.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Agent
The thin client backs up silently and is run from the web console; the full app lets the user set backups and restore locally. Windows, macOS, Linux and Windows Server.
Backup Console
Devices are sorted into groups, and a backup plan sets what to copy, what to skip, when to run, CPU and bandwidth limits, and the alerts that fire when a job fails.
Management
Admins add users and companies, give each company its own administrator, and hand out backup-manager rights; an MSP keeps every client apart, up to 5,000 computers each.
Cloud
Data is AES-256 encrypted in transit and at rest; a daily snapshot of each computer is kept 30 days in compliance mode, so no one, IDrive’s admins included, can change it.
An agent on every device, two web consoles above it — and IDrive’s cloud holding a locked snapshot per computer per day.
Nine capabilities. Protect it, recover it, run it.
IDrive 360 backs up every computer and server in a business to IDrive’s cloud and keeps a locked snapshot of each one for every day of the past month.
PCs, Macs and Linux boxes
Windows 7 to 11, macOS 10.13 or later and Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS or Mint, including mapped and external drives that resume once plugged in.
Servers and databases
Windows Server 2008 to 2025 plus SQL Server, on-premise Exchange and SharePoint, Oracle, System State, Hyper-V and VMware, all on the same per-device licence.
Default or private key
AES-256 in transit and at rest; pick a private key per device and IDrive never stores it — lose it and nobody, IDrive included, can decrypt the data.
30 days of locked snapshots
One snapshot a day per computer, held 30 days in compliance mode and suited to legal hold — for accounts or devices added from March 2024 onwards.
Entire-machine restore
Windows machines can be imaged whole — OS, apps and settings — and brought back on the same hardware or on a different machine after a failure.
Seeding by shipped drive
IDrive 360 Express moves a large first backup, or a large restore, on a physical drive, so an office on a thin line is not saturated for weeks.
GPO, Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne
Push the agent through Group Policy, Microsoft Intune or NinjaOne on Windows, and Apple Remote Desktop, Jamf Pro or Intune on Macs, or send an install link.
SSO, 2FA and IP limits
Console sign-in can go through your identity provider, demand a second factor, and be confined to chosen IP addresses, ranges or subnets.
ConnectWise Manage link
MSPs can tie IDrive 360 to ConnectWise Manage for customer records, billing and service tickets, and pull custom reports by user, device or job.

Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
A price you can read before a call
Most business backup in this class is quoted through partners. IDrive prints IDrive 360 on its site: $149.50 a year for five devices at renewal, $2,950 for a hundred, $29,500 for a thousand — and the storage comes with it, 10 TB per device, before a $6-per-TB monthly charge starts.
Snapshots an attacker cannot rewrite
Every computer gets a daily snapshot held 30 days in compliance mode, which stops anyone — the account owner and IDrive’s own root user included — from deleting or editing it early. After ransomware, you restore the last clean day, not whatever the sync engine last saw.
Laptops and servers on one licence
A device is a device: the same licence covers a sales laptop, a Linux box, a SQL Server or a Hyper-V host, and the same console sets plans for all of them. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox and Box can be added at $20 a seat a year when you need them.
Where it stops
There is no India storage region or rupee price. Snapshots stop at 30 days, so longer retention is a question for sales. Whole-machine images are Windows-only. The March 2026 CVE in the Windows client needs version 7.0.0.64 or later. No local appliance, so big restores follow your line.
The numbers behind the platform
What your IDrive 360 rollout looks like
Count devices, not people
List every laptop, desktop, server and phone to protect, and its data size; the device count picks the pack, the data the storage.
Run the 7-day trial
Install the thin client on a Windows PC, a Mac and a server, back up real folders, then restore a file and one full snapshot.
Decide the key and the rules
Choose default or private-key encryption per device, turn on SSO, 2FA and IP limits, and write down who holds any private key.
Push the agent to the fleet
Deploy through GPO, Intune, NinjaOne or Jamf, group devices by team, and patch every Windows client to 7.0.0.64 or later.
Rehearse, then diarise renewal
Restore a whole Windows machine to spare hardware, time it, and budget year two at the full price, not the discounted year one.
The review scoreboard
Modelled on Gartner Peer Insights structure. *Counts and breakdowns are illustrative pending verified review collection.
Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“We pushed the thin client to 180 laptops through Intune in a morning. Staff never saw a window, and the backup console filled up by lunch.”
“A branch PC was encrypted on a Friday. We picked Thursday’s snapshot, restored the folders, and the branch opened on time on Monday.”
“The renewal invoice was a quarter higher than year one. The discount was printed on the page, but finance had budgeted from the promo figure.”
“We run twelve client companies in one account, each with its own admin. Tickets flow into ConnectWise Manage without anyone retyping them.”
“Our auditors asked where the backups physically sit. IDrive’s pages talk about data centres but name no country, so we asked for it in writing.”
“Ten terabytes per device is far more than our design laptops use, so storage never became a separate line in the budget as it did before.”

Which approach fits you?
Honest fit signals — because the fastest way to lose your trust is to pretend one product wins every scenario.
Choose IDrive 360 if…
- ✓You want a per-device price you can read on the website, with 10 TB of storage inside it
- ✓Laptops, Linux boxes and Windows servers should sit under one licence and one console
- ✓Ransomware recovery means picking a locked daily snapshot, not trusting a sync folder
Compare alternatives if…
- ✓Backup copies must stay in India — Druva Endpoints documents an AWS Mumbai region
- ✓You want anti-malware in the same agent — Acronis Cyber Protect bundles it
- ✓You are an MSP buying on an N-able stack — Cove folds storage and Microsoft 365 in
Do not expect…
- ✓A rupee price or an India storage region — IDrive sells in USD and names none
- ✓Snapshots older than 30 days — longer retention is a conversation with IDrive
- ✓Instant VM boot or a local appliance — restores come down from the cloud
IDrive 360 is one of 27 backup & recovery products TechBag carries. The Backup & Recovery guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
What does recovering machines the slow way cost you?
Drag the sliders (devices you back up; IT-hour cost). Estimates model IT time lost to rebuilding failed or stolen machines, chasing missing files and checking ad-hoc backups at an assumed 1.5 hours per device a year, with 70% of it recovered through scheduled cloud backup and snapshot restores. Both figures are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.

The 8 questions to ask every vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
How many computers, servers and phones need protecting? Packs run from 5 to 1,000 devices, and phones cost $5 a year each.
Does any device hold more than 10 TB? Storage past that is billed at $6 per TB a month on top of the licence.
Is 30 days of daily snapshots enough, or does policy demand months or years of history? Ask IDrive before you buy.
Will you use private keys? IDrive never stores them, so a lost key means data that nobody can ever restore.
Must Macs or Linux machines be rebuilt from an image? Entire-machine backup is documented for Windows only.
Must copies stay in India? IDrive 360 documents no Indian region; get the storage country in writing.
Are all Windows clients on 7.0.0.64 or later, the release that fixed CVE-2026-1995 in the IDrive backup client?
Has finance budgeted year two at the full rate, and does it need an INR invoice with GST through a partner?
