McAfee Online Backup review

One of the worst things that can happen to your PC, besides it getting a malicious virus is it crashing and deleting all your precious files.

McAfee not only has you back against hackers but the security firm has a software package that backs up you work and keeps it safe with McAfee Online Backup, powered by Mozy.

What we like best

The best part about this software is impossible to put your finger on, because everything about it is so useful. It provides users with an easy-to-use, safe and reliable back up program that keeps all your valuable files protected.

McAfee Online Backup gives you an unlimited storage capacity so you can backup every file on your PC with a worry. All you files are backed up to a secure offsite server that is accessible online. What is more, all files will have copies made whether they are open or even locked.

McAfee Online Backup saves copies of all your Outlook email and contacts automatically and automatically backs up your PCs files when it is idle or at pre-arranged intervals.

You can be sure that all your files are safe from hackers too, as McAfee Online Backup uses 128-bit SSL encryption during the backup process of your files and 448-bit Blowfish encryption while they are in storage.

What we like least

The only negative that we can see with McAfee online Backup is that you would need a high-speed Internet connection to access your “restore” feature that allows you to access your files from any computer.

This could be a problem for those who travel a lot and may be in areas where Internet speed isn’t very high.
