While the IONOS cloud backup is primarily aimed at large business customers, private users and SMEs will find MyDefender a great option for cloud storage. The simple management and setup stand out, making this a particularly user-friendly solution. Thanks to the web user interface, everything is easy to control and once set up, doesn’t require any complicated management. Online backups can be carried out automatically according to previously defined guidelines.
IONOS offers four different packages: 10 GB, 100 GB, 200 GB, or 500 GB. If you’re in need of yet more storage capacity, you can pay a small additional fee per GB per month. Contracts can be extended and canceled monthly, making it super easy to swap tariffs as and when needed.
Compatible operating systems are Windows, macOS, and iOS and Android on mobile. Windows users benefit from an additional backup service that includes protection against ransomware. During the upload, Windows data is checked for viruses to ensure all backups remain secure.
Similar to competitor products, IONOS MyDefender scores points with its high security standards. Servers are ISO-certified and operate according to European data protection principles. In general, data is encrypted via 256-bit AES.
