New IDrive Express Location in Ireland

IDrive, Inc. (IDrive Backup) has expanded its IDrive Express offering internationally to support shipping to Ireland, giving users in the EU region the opportunity to speed up their large backups and retrievals and save themselves time and bandwidth.

IDrive Express enables users all over the world to backup or retrieve large volumes of data within a week using physical shipment of temporary storage devices provided by IDrive. In addition to the Ireland location, the company also ships to Canada, South America, and Australia, making it a global solution.

The Express service is easy to use for backing up data, with users simply having to: 

• Request a HDD shipment from the IDrive website.
• Use IDrive’s local backup tool to securely store data to the device and ship it back to IDrive.
• IDrive will then upload the data to the associated online backup account.
• Once the data is transferred from the device to the IDrive online account, users can continue incremental backups through the conventional online backup process.

Similarly, retrieving data through IDrive Express is a straightforward process, users just need to fill in the HDD shipment form on the IDrive website with all relevant information. IDrive will then send a drive with all of the data the user requested and users can recover their data quickly from the device to the desired destination.

The size of the drive that IDrive ships will be determined by the size of the account.
