I’ve thoroughly reviewed Backblaze, including its features, performance, security, and privacy policies, so you don’t have to. No single backup service is the right choice for everyone. Some other cloud backup services cover unlimited devices, such as iDrive (but you don’t get unlimited storage with iDrive – there’s always a drawback somewhere!) You can add more subscriptions for additional devices, but it’ll cost you. While Backblaze gives you unlimited storage and doesn’t limit the size of files you back up, a subscription covers just one computer. Other features, like permanent cloud storage for files you delete from your computer, can only be added for a fee. Backups can be slow and may interfere with other online activities.Īnd while all the essentials are there, Backblaze lacks some of the customization features its competitors offer, like choosing the files you want to back up, backing up data from mobile devices, and backing up system and application files. It gives you unlimited, secure data backup in a simple and straightforward package, so it’s easy to set up, making it a great choice for novices.īut Backblaze has some drawbacks. It’s among the most popular cloud backup companies, and it’s easy to understand why. More often than not I've needed a file on mobile while on the road yet been unable to access it for download because it's size is reportedly too large.Backblaze Offers Affordable, Unlimited Online Backup Serviceīackblaze prides itself on offering home and small business users a reliable, low-cost online backup service. Is there a necessary or unavoidable technological limitation causing this? If it's just a proprietary business decision, drop it. I don't believe there should be a bandwith cap on downloadable files. Clearly the uploads continue but the app just isn't gathering/reporting it well at all.Ģ.
I'll finally see a new total and it'll be a couple dozen more gigabytes. After a week or so of refreshing the app or killing the app using the multitasking/app-switcher/app-killer function then re-starting the app. Unfortunately, I find the upload total rarely updates. Consequently, while away from home on business I like to pull up the app to check my upload process (not to mention occasionally retrieve files).
I have a Mac Mini with a large external drive that's still trying to finish the initial upload after a couple months. The app is incredibly reluctant to grab updated summary information from the Backblaze servers. I really like the Backblaze service, but the app is terribly limited in at least two ways that impact it's usability for me:ġ.
