使用IDrive安全存储空间–在线存储系列
Last week we took a look at different options for backing up, storing, and sharing data files with online storage services. This week we will take a look at services which are more secure. IDrive uses AES 256 bit encryption for its online storage service. Transfers of data to the drive is done with 128 SSL encryption. IDrive allows you to sign up for a free 2GB account. Their Pro Personal Account is 4.95/month for 150GB of storage. They also offer accounts for businesses at different rates.
上周，我们研究了使用在线存储服务备份，存储和共享数据文件的不同选项。 本周，我们将介绍更安全的服务。 IDrive将AES 256位加密用于其在线存储服务。 通过128 SSL加密将数据传输到驱动器。 IDrive允许您注册一个免费的2GB帐户。 他们的Pro个人帐户每月收费4.95美元，可存储150GB的存储空间。 他们还为企业提供不同费率的帐户。
As with other online storage services you need to set up a free account on the site and download the desktop software. When you first launch IDrive you will be prompted to log in.
与其他在线存储服务一样，您需要在站点上设置一个免费帐户并下载桌面软件。 首次启动IDrive时，将提示您登录。
After signing in you will get a window to set up the encryption storage password. I set my own password as recommended. Make sure you do not forget this password as you cannot retrieve it if lost. IDrive does not store the passwords on their servers. If you choose the default encryption key from IDrive you will never need to enter one in.
登录后，您将看到一个窗口来设置加密存储密码。 我按照建议设置了自己的密码。 确保您不要忘记此密码，因为如果丢失该密码将无法找回。 IDrive不会在其服务器上存储密码。 如果您从IDrive中选择默认加***，则无需输入任何一个。
After setting the encryption password you are given a verification message advising not to share or lose the password.
设置加密密码后，系统会显示一条验证消息，建议您不要共享或丢失密码。
When the IDrive Classic manager launches, notice some directories are pre-selected. This definitely put me over the 2GB limit for the free account right away. No worries, you can change the directories to whatever you need.
启动IDrive Classic管理器时，请注意某些目录已预先选择。 这肯定使我立即超过了免费帐户2GB的限制。 不用担心，您可以将目录更改为所需的目录。
Ok, I chose a couple of my directories to backup. You can see the total size of the combined files is 212 MB. When everything looks good go ahead and click on Backup Now.
好的，我选择了两个目录进行备份。 您可以看到组合文件的总大小为212 MB。 当一切看起来不错时，请单击立即备份 。
A progress screen comes up while IDrive prepares the files for backup.
当IDrive准备文件进行备份时，将显示进度屏幕。
This is the screen during the actual secure data transfer. Notice you can adjust the amount of bandwidth used and can pause the backup.
这是实际安全数据传输期间的屏幕。 请注意，您可以调整使用的带宽量并可以暂停备份。
When the process is complete you have the option to check out the log file right away.
该过程完成后，您可以选择立即检出日志文件。
The log is a long text document of every file that was backed up. This can get pretty lengthy if you have a lot to backup. The most important part to notice is at the bottom which verifies the start and stop time and that all backups were successful.
日志是备份的每个文件的长文本文档。 如果您有很多备份，这可能会很漫长。 需要注意的最重要的部分是在底部，它可以验证开始和停止时间以及所有备份是否成功。
IDrive creates a virtual type drive on your computer. If you go into My Computer you will see it there as a networked drive and you can select properties to see how much space is available without having to open up IDrive Classic or browse to their website.
IDrive在您的计算机上创建一个虚拟类型驱动器。 如果进入“我的电脑”，您将在那看到它作为网络驱动器，并且可以选择属性以查看有多少可用空间，而无需打开IDrive Classic或浏览其网站。
The IDrive Classic application is where to make changes and schedule backups. You can also view previous logs, run bandwidth tests, and sync folders.
IDrive Classic应用程序是进行更改和计划备份的地方。 您还可以查看以前的日志，运行带宽测试以及同步文件夹。
There is also a feature called Continuous Backup which will monitor the backed up directories on your computer and update them on IDrive as needed. IDrive works with Windows and Mac.
还有一个称为“连续备份”的功能，它将监视计算机上的备份目录并根据需要在IDrive上更新它们。 IDrive可在Windows和Mac上使用。
