SpiderOak and ElephantDrive Court Ex-Xdrive Users
Filed in archive Online by jeff goldman on November 23, 2008
In response to the closure of AOL's Xdrive service, SpiderOak this week announced a 10% discount on its online backup services for the first 5,000 former Xdrive users who sign up for paid accounts with SpiderOak using the promo code "xdrive."
Standard SpiderOak pricing is $10 per month for 2 to 100 GB, and $10 per month for each additional 100 GB increment. The first 2 GB are free.
Of course, SpiderOak's not the only one - ElephantDrive is also courting Xdrive users - and many other providers will doubtless soon do the same...
Before you make the leap, InformationWeek's Howard Marks strongly recommends that you consider all your options carefully. "While I'm still an online backup fan, do-it-yourself and peer-to-peer systems like CrashPlan are looking like a better idea," he writes.
