Backblaze Business Backup Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use Backblaze Business Backup, both to host static web resources, and off-site copies of our internal backup software.

We also have a couple of users that are running Backblaze's "Desktop" backup software, for those users that do not store all of their data on the server (for reasons).

Likelihood to Recommend

When it comes to backing up individual workstations out to a cloud destination, Backblaze Business Backup is absolutely the way to go.

My experience comes from managing small company accounts, not enterprise deployment, although there are deployment tools available as well, now.

We also use Backblaze Business Backup (as a drop-in replacement for AWS S3), and find it useful to be able to restore files in bulk from a backup directly into Backblaze Business Backup.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Backblaze Business Backup all staff computers as well as to backup our servers.

Likelihood to Recommend

It has good integration with MDMs for both mac and windows making it a good choice for either. It also has good integration with some on premise backup OS's for servers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our entire organization currently uses Backblaze. It definitely helps our IT folks rest easier knowing that all of our MacBooks are backed up continuously instead of having to send nagging reminders. I've been with the organization for just over two years and we installed Backblaze on day one.

I've also used it personally with all of my family's MacBooks for the past five or six years.

Likelihood to Recommend

I recommend it on a constant basis. It's bailed me out more than once in the past six years, and I'm never worried about what would happen if my MacBook were to crash. I love that there's no limit to how much you can back up and it'll even back up external drives. I honestly can't think of a scenario where Backblaze wouldn't work well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Backblaze used by our company as backup storage server and internal storage server, we used another service for main storage server. Backblaze is chosen because the price reason, its cheap (not the cheapest) but the quality is good but not the best . It has a good starter package too with a reasonable price. and thats why our company choose Backblaze.

Likelihood to Recommend

In My Opinion, Backblaze is good to be used as secondary storage server . Our team has the same opinion, we can use another storage server as primary storage server. We could backup to Backblaze storage server, and use it for Internal Usage to our storage sharing in our company and integrate it with team collaboration apps (rocket chat)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Backblaze is being used not only internally to back up our computers, but we supply it to our users to back up their computers. Using a tool like Backblaze eliminates the need for the users to remember to plug a drive into their computers, which they will eventually forget to do. Backblaze backs up over the internet, and continuously – meaning the users' data is always backed up.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for anyone, including enterprise. This will be great for backing up your own computer, as well as your entire companies computers. Web management makes it easy to manage computers, as well as restoring data remotely. You can even set what types of files are backed up, to ensure any non-critical files are not backed up.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use it to back up 1 of our local productions (multiple large raw and edited video, audio, and photos) and are looking to use it for hot cloud backup across the org for all local productions once we integrate with a DAM later this summer.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have small files infrequently backed up, it's a good tool. A lot of large files require an expensive appliance to lift the data to the cloud or too much time to upload. The ability to upload multiple large files using any integration with a GUI (like Cyberduck) exists but fails.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a solopreneur using Backblaze as my offsite backup.

Likelihood to Recommend

Perfectly suited for backing up an individual computer.

I do not know how well suited Backblaze is for group backup but I know that's a feature.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Backblaze for clients who need file-level backup (Windows or MAC agent) and also to backup some on-site NAS appliances that we have deployed with our clients with the B2 Cloud. Backblaze allows us to have one central console to manage all our client's data and we can easily see alerts if something is not backing up properly.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Backblaze] is great for off-site managed backups that are file level. Where it doesn't work is if you want a full image backup or backing up servers gets in the "not-ideal" direction.

Backblaze has a great use case and as long as you stick in the file-level backup, all is great!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used to backup photo studio picture files.

<div>I tried the service twice and nothing improved.</div><div>

</div><div>Their customer service is a total waste of time. They lie about throttling speed even though my computer upload speed is over 900 mbps and their service never went above 2 mbps.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Backblaze is my primary backup and recovery. As the owner and sole preparer of a tax business, I need a reliable backup system. Backblaze automatically performs a nightly backup that is encrypted and stored off-site. I needed it this year, and I was able to recover my client data securely. It filled that gap and worked.

Likelihood to Recommend

Essentially Backblaze is a secure off-site data backup and restoration software. It does that job, and it does that job well. That's the scenario it was designed to be used in, and it does it exceptionally well. I find that it is likely best suited for medium to large businesses that have several users for a networked computer system with multiple computers on a server. If you are a small business like myself where it's me myself and I, it's a little cumbersome to recover data and is perhaps less appropriate. What greatly attracted me to it was its price, which, for me, was $99 for an entire year. With that, I can put up with a little bit of cumbersome.
