This is only available on a browser - not the desktop client - and offers a degree of collaboration with file sharing. This helps to save bandwidth if you rely on your Internet connection for other tasks, not to mention the time saved.Īrguably more usable is Polarbackup’s Instant Vault, which offers a more versatile cloud storage system.

We especially like the incremental backup feature, which means that only new or modified files are uploaded. If you only need to back up certain files, you can set Polarbackup to run a selective backup on particular file types, like Microsoft Office files, videos or desktop files, for example. There's also an option of limiting bandwidth through the desktop client if you need to, or conversely, to enable multithreaded upload which promises faster upload speeds by consuming your entire bandwidth. With the desktop clients installed, backups can be run at set intervals (anywhere from every 12 hours to every 7 days), or on a custom schedule. We like the lack of limits on users, servers or file sizes, and no additional charge for data restoration (you'll just have to wait a few hours to get it back). There are also business packages, and you get extra options for user management, setting data policies, digging into activity logs and handling standards compliance.
