"Easy Backups with Backblaze, Time Machine on MacBook Pro does the same without subscription"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

I used Backblaze for several years to maintain backups of my MacBook Pro. It was easy to install and use. It could be set to automatically backup, or manual. I used the latter, and backed it up incrementally weekly, and full backup monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Paying an ongoing subscription for cloud backup, when I could use Apple's native Time Machine. Previous IT Admin set up the Backblaze account. When he retired and I assumed his role, I switched to Time Machine, which has the same functionality without the additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backblaze Computer Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backblaze gives peace of mind knowing my creative files are safe, but the size and volume of my video, audio, photography and graphics files was only effective when I was working in the office. Now I work remotely, and data throughput is an issue. Now I use Time Machine and redundant SSD backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Doesn't backup all the information you want backed-up / Impossible to turn off Auto-Renew"

0/5

What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Nothing. In addition to not backuping all the information you want backed-up, making it impossible to turn off Auto-Renew, they are also extremely poor in the billing area - I could never get them to even send me a properly made invoice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Horrible service: doesn't back up all the things you want/need backed-up

No help people: they make it impossible to contact them to get help

Can't get a real properly filled out business invoice

They make it impossible to turn off the auto-renewal

In order to stop auto-renewal you must cancel your account, also permanently deleting all backups - even if you still have a year left on your already paid for subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backblaze Computer Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are supposedly a file backbup system. I think they do this to some degree but they do it extremely poorly. See a few points below:

Response from Yev of Backblaze Computer Backup

edit

Yev from Backblaze here, I'm sorry that you had a poor experience and were not able to get the support you needed. I wanted to share that you can reach our support agents at www.backblaze.com/help (we have live chat Monday through Friday) and you can open a ticket with our agents there as well. If there were issues with backing up, they should be able to assist you, however if you have product feedback, we'd appreciate you sharing that with our product management team who can be reached at: productfeedback@backblaze.com.

I understand the frustration about auto-renewing - I believe we default to that behavior so ensure that no data gets lost if someone forgets to put down a card to manually renew their service, however I have shared that feedback along with the invoicing issue you had with our Computer Backup product team for review as well!
