SOS Online Backup is one of the bigger worldwide providers of online backup service. Geared towards small and medium businesses, it runs quietly and automatically in the background on PC, Mac, and mobile. The automatic schedule can be setup to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly: you can set a daily backup window to limit what times of day SOS transfers data and choose whether or not to receive email reports on backup activity.
Sos Online Backup uses minimal system resources, is fast and easy to use. This backup software for Android leads the industry in mobile protection with automatic backup of apps, music, photos, docs and video plus many other desktop-class benefits. Sos Online Backup for iOS can protect photos and contacts. You can also protect all of your USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA and other external storage devices. Even backup network-attached volumes from any PC, Mac or Linux machine.
Sos Online Backup is an actual archive and will never delete files from the cloud – even if you disconnect the drive. The backup apps use lossless compression during transfer to minimize bandwidth usage while posing zero risk of damage to files. The LiveProtect feature on select files enables continuous, real-time protection: files being watched by LiveProtect will be backed-up within seconds of being changed.
Personal and Family accounts, unlike Business plans, have an infinite and unlimited amount of storage in the secure Sos cloud. If you delete a file from your computer, the backup copy and all of its past versions will remain in the cloud forever. All Sos Online Backup apps (desktop AND mobile) encrypt your files using UltraSafe 256-bit AES before transferring them to the cloud. Recommended for sensitive data, UltraSafe MAX accounts are protected with unique user-defined encryption keys.
Sos Online Backup have lots of support and help available: Live Chat, 24/7 Support service, Knowledge Base & Forums, Email Support. Talking about pricing, Personal and Family accounts start from 3.58$/mo, Business accounts start from 39.99$/mo.
Conclusion
SOS Online Backup is highly recommended: it never removes previous file versions and offers top security for your data.

I would not recommend SOS Online Backup to Mac users: it offers still a poor user experience. Besides, many users are complain the service still charge credit card after it’s cancelled. As if not enough, soon they won’t offer the unlimited plan, going to a 500 GB limit for 5 computers for $29.99/month.
Thank you for the information David, I’ll update my review ASAP. Your suggestion is welcome.
