Connected DataProtector has a strong focus on large business customers but also offers plans suited to small businesses and home users. We tested the Home/Small Office plan. Backing up requires you to use client software, though a browser-based application is available for restoring files. Data Protector provides standard features, such as incremental backups, compression, and encryption (at the data center and over the Internet). Extensive backup rules and scheduling features provide much flexibility, and data is stored in two data centers for extra reliability. DataProtector keeps ten versions of files and retains them for 90 days. In an interesting feature, Connected keeps current versions of popular software on their servers, so you don't have to waste bandwidth or storage space backing them up. DataProtector also supports data sharing with other users. Basic backup operations weren't quite as intuitive as with IBackup.
