Overall Satisfaction with Backblaze Business Backup

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.
  • Ongoing incremental backups
  • Easy to browse and restore specific files or directories
  • Saves file versions for 30+ days, so you can restore a specific version of a file if needed
  • It doesn't always handle updates to the app itself very seamlessly
  • Definite peace of mind should anything happen to local Time Machine backups
  • Acts as a makeshift "versioning" system behind the scenes if I ever change or delete something and need to go back to an earlier version
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 past six.

Do you think Backblaze Business Backup delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Backblaze Business Backup's feature set?

Yes

Did Backblaze Business Backup live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Backblaze Business Backup go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Backblaze Business Backup again?

Yes

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.
