Started using Backblaze 4 / 5 years ago as I knew I needed a cloud backup option but just never really took the plunge as it didn’t seem that necessary.
Over time I started storing more and more data on external dries. Initially personal stuff but also started producing more video content for work.
For work I decided to do a local backup or Clone of any drives so there’s always 2 physical drives in case one fails or gets damaged. I didn’t have a duplicate drive of everything however as it depended if we’d do enough work to warrant the expense of 2 drives. If not then there was 1 drive with multiple client projects on.
Being aware of this I decided it was time to include some cloud backups into the mix, for the few drives I had. It turns out it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Pros:
– Mac or Windows
– 15 day free trial – Probably won’t really notice it but able to check out the platform and interface (web & app)
– Works away in the background, don’t even notice. – Pause the upload if needed to free up bandwidth
– UNLIMITED storage of backups. – I have 8.5 TB of data marked for backup.
– Backup as many external drives as you want – UNLIMITED storage
– Get reminders if drive has been disconnected after 14, 21, 30 days
£6ish a month (save on annual)
– Version History – 30 days included. Upgrade for longer. Deleted a file? Get it back.
– Easily access and download files
– FREE* restore of any files physically shipped out. – up to 8TB drive – Costs roughly $190 BUT return it and get a refund for drive. Just pay the shipping. (was around £30 when I did it)

Cons:
– Accessing the files through the web portal can be a little sluggish.
– Can preview images, jpeg, PNG. Can’t preview anything else. Need to download first.
– Can’t back up a NAS – Needs Business Backup – They have a NAS app specifically for this to manage but you do pay for storage. Extremely affordable but not unlimited.
– If you have a lot of files to back up, the initial backup can take a LONG time depending on your internet speeds
