Backblaze Business Backup is a versatile and reliable cloud backup solution that has gained recognition for its robust features and seamless user experience. Users across various industries have found value in implementing Backblaze for their backup needs. Whether it is individual users looking to safeguard their personal data or businesses requiring comprehensive data protection, Backblaze has proven to be an effective solution to address these use cases.

For individual users, Backblaze offers worry-free cloud backup for laptops, eliminating the need to remember to plug in external drives and ensuring the safe storage of media files, photographs, videos, and important documents. The continuous and silent operation of the software in the background allows for automatic remote backups without disrupting regular computer activities. In case of incidents or computer issues, users can easily recover their lost files and restore their data with ease.

In a business setting, Backblaze proves invaluable for safeguarding critical data across multiple devices such as servers, laptops, and desktops. It serves as an essential backup solution for workstation backups in design and production teams, facilitating daily backups of workstations and external drives. Additionally, it can seamlessly integrate with other backup products, providing a cost-effective solution for efficient backups. By serving as redundant offsite backup, it complements existing on-site backups to enhance data safety company-wide.

Moreover, Backblaze is known for its reliability in specific industry use cases. For tax business owners, it offers nightly encrypted backups that guarantee secure recovery. Video and photo studios benefit from its ability to backup large raw and edited files securely off-site, ensuring protection against potential disasters. Even software companies include it as part of their onboarding process to ensure valuable data stored in computers is backed up physically and in the cloud.

The user-friendly online interface of Backblaze further simplifies file restoration when needed, enhancing accessibility and convenience for users. With its affordability and unlimited storage capabilities, Backblaze offers peace of mind and value for the price, serving as a critical safety net to protect valuable personal and business data.

Intuitive Interface: Users have consistently praised the intuitive interface of Backblaze, with many stating that it is easy to navigate and use efficiently. Some users have mentioned that they appreciate how simple it is to exclude specific items from the backup process, giving them more control over what gets backed up.

Affordability: Many reviewers have highlighted the low cost of Backblaze as a major advantage. They feel that it offers excellent value for the price, particularly because it provides unlimited backups per computer at an affordable rate. This makes Backblaze a cost-effective solution for businesses and individuals with large amounts of data to back up.

Reliability and Automation: The reliability and automation features of Backblaze have garnered positive feedback from users. Reviewers appreciate that Backblaze consistently performs daily backups without any user intervention, providing peace of mind knowing their data is being backed up regularly. Additionally, users find it convenient that they can customize a backup time that suits their preferences, optimizing the backup process without disrupting their work.

Limited User Interface: Some users have expressed that the user interface of Backblaze is limited compared to other solutions, such as CrashPlan. They feel that Backblaze lacks certain features and controls, which impacts their overall experience.

Inconvenient Seeded Backup Option: Several users have found it inconvenient that Backblaze does not offer a seeded backup option. This can be particularly challenging for users with a large number of files to backup, as it requires them to upload all data directly from their devices rather than using an external hard drive.

Inability to Back Up Network Shares: A drawback mentioned by some reviewers is that Backblaze cannot back up network shares. This limitation can be problematic for users who rely on devices like Synology NAS servers or similar systems for storage and file sharing within their networks.

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.
  • Reasonable Price
  • Reliable Service
  • Well-enough Feature
  • Documentation
  • Technical Support
  • More Package Option
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)
  • S3 Compatible
  • Datas Backup
  • High Reliability
  • Cost Efficient
  • High Reliability
  • Safe Backup
  • Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) and Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS)
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 with price-friendly and the documentation is good

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.
  • Price is unbeatable
  • Runs constantly in the background.
  • 30 day retention, but can go longer.
  • Can send a hard drive if data needs to be recovered.
  • There should be better notification of issues.
  • Mass deployment, via MDM needs to be built better.
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.
  • Price
  • Ease of functionality
  • Easy restorability
  • No reseller program
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 with HyperBackup.

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.
  • Support
  • Custom scripts
  • Feature suggestions
  • FTP integrations for large files.
  • NAS sync integrations for large files.
  • Cold storage option with a lower cost.
  • Ability to sync multiple regions (of different tiers).
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.
  • Support
  • Cost
  • B2 product and support staff
  • Cost savings versus other providers.
  • Savings allows for multi cloud or regional backup.
  • Sense of security for our off prem data storage.
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 am a solopreneur using Backblaze as my offsite backup.
  • Invisible operation.
  • Reliable and simple file recovery.
  • Helpful configuration options.
  • Excellent security options.
  • The online interface for Backblaze used to be a bit clunky, but it's smoother now. Can't come up with any missing or deficient feature for my needs.
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.
  • Offsite storage accessible from anywhere.
  • Strong security.
  • No perceived interference with normal computer use.
  • Any backup application is like an insurance policy. Barring a disaster, you shouldn't need it. I sleep better at night knowing that my online "life" will be preserved even if my home office burns down.
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 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.
  • File-level backups
  • Cloud storage
  • Easy interface
  • Easy billing
  • Sometimes restore is slow
[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!
  • Easy to use
  • Multi-admin account interface
  • Pricing
  • Month to month or annual or bi-annual billing on the reselling plan
  • Easy restores - saves time
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.
