You can also make use of the SOS web interface to access your saved files, where you can browse through them by name or type, download them as a ZIP archive or you can even share them with your friends or family using the file sharing feature. To help you with the process, they also included a calendar view that would help you retrieve correct files. SOS has made its Restore feature simple as well. In SOS, continuous backup is only available for selected files, while many others in this space backup every file soon after they've been modified. Another thing I liked about this one is its potential to backup contents from external hard disks and network devices, though it's not a cutting edge feature in an online backup service, I must say, I couldn't find this feature in some of the backup services I reviewed, so it's a big plus. Actually this is a cool feature that is left out in many popular online backup services, and it is always good to get a reminder message that lets you know the backup process has completed successfully or not. There you can even choose whether you would like to receive email reminder or not. Users will be guided through various steps to start the first backup and after that to schedule automatic backups, where you can choose when to run the backups, with an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly schedule. It features a management user interface that is very user-friendly and easy to operate for first-timers, while advanced users would love to play with the advanced customization options.
Installation of the software is really easy, all you have to do double click the downloaded software package and stick to the installation wizard. The personal plan starts at $7.99/month and Business plans start at $39.99/month. Like many other online backup services out there, SOS offers a free trial, which lasts 15 days. If you need any, you will have to contact the support team directly. They even provides reseller plans but there is no pricing listed on their official website. The company does provide plans for Personal and Business needs. As mentioned, it provides unlimited storage space, offering you adequate space to save your files, including videos and pictures. It provides a spectacular set of functionalities for backing up and restoring users valuable files. There may be a lot of online backup services to pick from, but this one stands apart from the pack by giving unlimited data backup for up to 5 machines with its personal plan. They protect an enormous number of computers world wide from loss of data, and have 11 data centers with state-of-the-art security.
