Pros & Cons

Glorio Specs

Type: Professional

"Welcome to the path to data salvation," says the sign-up screen for Glorio, an online backup service from newcomer Restorion. After viewing a few more evangelical messages, we downloaded and tested the feature-rich client software. (Browser-based access should be available soon.) Backups can be highly customized with extensive filtering and scheduling options; Glorio has three different file encryption methods, including the highly secure 448-bit Blowfish encryption. Files remain encrypted on the server. The service provides a complete set of backup statistics during the backup process. Restore operations could be more intuitive: The Restore tab shows the contents of your My Computer folder, including a drive labeled C:, but it's unclear if this is referring to the local C: drive, or the portion of your C: drive that was backed up on the remote server. Multiple users can share a single account at no extra cost.
