Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Pros: Very simple to use with excellent user documentation.

Cons: Nothing in particular, the price did go up with increased data stored but that's to be expected.

Pros: One of the best parts of Backblaze is their pricing is based on actual usage, so you're not paying for space you're not using. They have an app that is very straight forward to use, and most competitors do not seem to offer something this streamlined yet. They have very simple and straightforward recovery options for users. Scheduling back ups is streamlined to ensure you don't need to set reminders to back up regularly.

Cons: The first back up is painfully slow. Of the programs I've used, it had one of the longest back up times for the initial back up. It took over two weeks to back up a couple TB of data with my computer on 24/7. I have excellent internet, so that definitely wasn't a factor in the slow back up times. Backblaze also struggles with backing up external drives, which is an essential feature for me and my needs. Sometimes renamed files are not detected, and this can cause some issues in duplicating files, and overusing necessary storage. When file name changes are limited, this isn't much of an issue, but I frequently rename hundreds of files at a time. This causes a considerable unnecessary usage of storage for a program that estimates your cost on usage. While you pay for what you use, the downside it that this limits you to a single device, whereas with competitors you can back up several devices as long as you are within the limits of the plan you purchased without exceeding the storage in your plan.

Pros: Backblaze Cloud Storage is a great product to have installed on your computers to help ensure everything is recovered if you get ransomware.

Cons: Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is pretty straight forward.

Pros: Backblaze is a great resource for data backup to the cloud. It's secure and offers plenty of options to restore your files in case of data loss. One of the options they include is the choice to purchase a hard drive loaded with your data for a full restore, or you can use the file explorer to download individual files through your browser. The backup software automatically backs up any of the hard drives or files you request. If your computer goes offline for a particular length of time, you will receive an email reminder that the utility cannot connect to your source. Overall, this is a great solution for cloud storage backup compared to a few other choices.

Cons: Since Backblaze operates as a cloud-based service, it requires a stable internet connection for backups and file restoration, which may be a limitation in areas with poor connectivity or may take a long time to backup files.

Pros: I liked how easy it was to implement into my current network structure and was easy to setup end clients for this.

Cons: I didn't like how it missed some files and was slow for no apparent reason, especially on a fast network. I also found Synology did not officially support backblaze, so changed to a competitor which was supported in the end.

Pros: Backblaze is easy to setup and the backups are successful most of the time. Restore of files is a great feature.

Cons: It doesn't have a great notification system. Configuring settings is not straight forward.

Pros: I love how easy it is to get going. the price per GB seems very good. especially for a smb.

Cons: There takes a little bit of know how to create backups from other sources like linux (speaking as a newbie to command line programming) but there is help out there with youtube and the support docs.

Pros: The ease of use is what I like the most about this product. We went from MSP360 to BackBlaze and it is easier to use.

Cons: The email summaries could be more detailed.

Pros: The power of backblaze for personal backup is that it doesn't get in your way. It just sits there in the tray, but it accurately detects file changes and backs these up to the cloud. I have used the recovery process before and it works well.

Cons: It's not the cheapest, but it does do what it should.

Pros: Semplicità di utilizzo: installa, esegui e fa tutto da sé.

Cons: L'estrema semplicità di utilizzo ha come contro l'assenza di funzionalità e personalizzazioni.L'upload è veramente molto lento in Italia.Il ripristino dei file avviene solamente attraverso browser.

Pros: With Backblaze, I find great confidence that all the files and various data I work on are safely backed up to the cloud, and the encryption that Backblaze uses to authenticate system access and data recovery is something I greatly appreciate. Sync with Backblaze is excellent and we can keep multiple archives working with cloud backups at the same time, and we can schedule backup times with ease. I very much appreciate the notices and reports that document backup operations, as well as when an error occurs, which makes us fully prepared when any problem occurs with copying operations, and we can then call the support team, which I find very responsive, and we can always find appropriate solutions to problems.

Cons: There are no features that I do not like about Backblaze, as I find it has a simple user interface, and all the tools are clear and easy to use, in addition to that it integrates with all applications very efficiently. My only concern with Backblaze comes from the copying speed, which I find to be variable, and also because of the notification system, where sometimes I receive a notification that the copying process failed, and when I track the process I find that it is talking and that the copying was completed successfully.

Pros: Ease of use. Security. Peace of mind. Everything works in the background. I don't even need to update the software because it does it automatically.

Cons: I cannot think of anything. They send a regular newsletter, and many of the articles they send are too tricky for me to understand. Maybe if they wrote some of those articles in a more user-friendly language for people like me who are ignorant about IT.

Pros: The best part is the unlimited storage, and it also is easy to set up for general use.

Cons: The mobile app is not fully developed yet.

Pros: Backblaze is a simple backup solution that allows you to easily back up your hard drive and connected drives for a single monthly price. It does the job well, and is basically "set and forget". It also allows you to exclude items, folders, or drives from backup easily. The speed is quite quick, and I have never had a problem with restoring content.

Cons: I don't like that Backblaze makes you back up your system drive. For many people this is redundant, as they are using this to back up specific content such as photos which may not be located on the system drive.

Pros: Used them successfully for many years. Then suddenly, they stopped backing up my external HD on my mac for an undetermined amount of time. After discovering this potentially catastrophic situation, I contacted customer support which finally told me that BB couldn't backup a mac external HD with Time Machine. What? But it did in previous years? why wasn't I alerted my backup was essentially backing up ONLY my desktop, which has almost no files? Wasted money. Worse, it could have cost me my business.

Cons: Unreliable and their customer service seemed clueless.

Pros: Unlimited storage at an amazing price! Backblaze automatically backs up drives, folders, and files you set.

Cons: It does not back up exe files which are mainly software installation files but that is also where malware likes to hide.

Pros: The best features of Backblaze are its affordability, ease of use, and... #1 is Reliability. It has saved me from losing important data on several occasions. There's a nice feature to ensure backups are live and ongoing always. Another good feature is the ability to login online and access files (if needed).

Cons: First, it can be a bit slow to upload large files. Second, the free version only allows for one computer to be backed up. Virtual (storage could) drives are not supported. The very first backup you create can take days - But to be fair... This is a result of how much data you are including in the first backup, and how fast your internet connection is.

Pros: I've used Backblaze for years with mixed results with regard to using it as a backup for computer files. For the most part I've moved to Google drive for that because it works much better for my use case. But what I really like Backblaze for is remotely backing up my cpanel production servers. We used to use Amazon S3 to backup our servers. But it was a little expensive. Backblaze is way cheaper than AWS and just as easy to set up and even easier to use if you need to access files.

Cons: The smart phone app can be a little buggy at times when trying to connect or download files.

Pros: Backups run on a continuous basis, keeping the cloud version up to date on a regular basis. Use of the portal to view old files is intuitive, and functions well.

Cons: Encryption ability is limited to 128-bit keys, making this a concern for business use where industry regulations or standards require more robust encryption of private data.

Pros: I love that I can setup Backblaze, run an initial backup, and and trust that Backblaze will take care of the rest. I never have to worry about Backblaze protecting my data, and if there ever is a problem, Backblaze will alert me ASAP.

Cons: My one complaint about the software is the UI of the Mac desktop client; it looks dated and isn't intuitively organized, and doesn't seem to fit with the other polished parts of the Backblaze platform.

Pros: Automatic backups, and the option to have old version backups.

Cons: At first I think it was a bit difficult but later I see the opposite.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: i can't recommend this provider, slow and expensive, and they change the prices constantly and change the packages of services
