Chose Backblaze Business Backup
It's honestly been so long that I've been using Backblaze - maybe 10+ years - that I don't even remember other options I compared it to way back when. I've had a subscription on all of my personal machines for years, and we've used it on all of our machines at my job for the …
In general, Backblaze stacks up quite well when compared to CrashPlan. The native desktop app, easier to use interface, and lower yearly costs make Backblaze a far more ideal cloud backup system for home users vs. CrashPlan (which has eliminated their consumer backup option). …
We are using Aliyun OSS (Alibaba) as a primary storage server alongside with Backblaze. We are previously using Amazon Services, but our team is choose using another service because of the pricing and the complexity. Aliyun is having much feature, its almost like Amazon but …

Chose Backblaze Business Backup
Backblaze constantly will win in price and ease of use. Code42 has gone through multiple transformations, and with their ups and downs we had left on a down and haven't looked back. Wasabi is good, but with their API key system, we have relegated that to only for Synology's …
Both are great choices for backup, They both offer similar features, however, Backblaze offers unlimited storage and SugarSync offers different memberships with different storage sizes.
The price for cold storage at the Google Cloud Archive tier beats all other costs. We also need a hot copy of most of our half a petabyte on a system with API integration capability to multiple products and B2 meets that need.
I actually use BOTH Time Machine and Backblaze, for belt-and-suspenders backup redundancy. If my house burns down (along with my computer and external Time Machine backup drive), Backblaze has my back. If Backblaze vanishes for some reason, I have my Time Machine backup.
We picked Backblaze since it was super easy to use, understand, and sell to our clients. We did try a few other services and for various reasons like price, ease of use, or other reasons we didn't choose them.
Their customer service is filled by millennials, so basically nothing is ever Backblaze's fault.
I tried the service two times, in 2018 and today to see if they'd improved at all. The first time I discovered that they throttle upload speed. They refuse to admit it, but with 900 …
Backblaze has excellent reviews, and I felt me and my client's data was secure. BitLocker had a recent security issue I read about, and you have to have Windows 10 for business to use it. Norton is an excellent and reliable product, but the experiences I have had with Norton …
Backblaze B2 offers very similar service as these providers, but at a much better price per GB. I've been able to vastly provide better and more cost-effective service in regards to my backup offerings because of B2 storage. It's a fantastic service with an insane price point …
Dropbox and Google Drive are both very popular file syncing/backup services that I use regularly. Backblaze is more "low-level" than them, providing more value in lieu of user-facing features like granular multi-device syncing, easy file-sharing, and online document …
While Backblaze plays an important role in my overall data redundancy strategy, I continue to use Dropbox Business for certain key assets I need granular access to. I use Apple iCloud passively as well as a local Apple Time Capsule. For a single-user setup, Backblaze provides …
Having been a customer of Dropbox for many years now, I feel like I have a good grasp on what the company offers. I have friends and colleagues that use Dropbox as a pseudo-backup system. I think this is a huge mistake. Go with a company like Backblaze that specializes and …
I previously used CrashPlan before they pivoted their business model. CrashPlan was fine, and has feature parity with Backblaze. I was motivated to move from CrashPlan to Backblaze for 2 reasons - 1, as they pivoted, they increased their cost, which was frustrating, and 2, …
Backblaze offers similar functionality and simplicity to many of these systems. In terms of value, it would be a bit better but we are really comparing small amounts at this time. All other backup systems offer similar recovery times with similar pricing, however, Backblaze is …
While Dropbox is great at sharing files with others, it's not the best at recovery and their price keeps increasing. I stopped using the Pro version when I found Backblaze, and I continue to use it for file sharing, but not long term storage. In that sense, they're different …
It is the cheapest storage option, but it doesn't have disaster recovery like the other options on the market have. Also, you can't spin up and use the data live like you can on AWS Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Storage to use in the production of a product.
So there are two ways in which Backblaze stacks up well against its competition.
For a while I backed-up files at my home office using a combination of free or "freemium" services, depending on the relative storage limits. These limits are typically less than 100 gigabytes. When …
Backblaze had the most features at the right price. We had also experienced some data loss on other backup services. So far, all of our data has been secure and readily available when we need it, without high recovery costs like some companies.
Backblaze surpasses the other options by enabling backup of attached hard drives - a feature that when I last checked, none of the competition offered. That's huge for me, with externals full of data. Carbonite is close to BackBlaze otherwise, but lacks this key feature.
