Backblaze Computer Backup Reviews & Product Details

I like that BackBlaze is a click and install type of backup service for PCs. Their tech support is strong and their software does not have any noticeable bugs. I also appreciate that their unlimited backup is truly unlimited. Also to note, if you add on subscriptions they will pro-rate and keep all of your subscriptions due on the same date so you do not have staggering subscriptions. I am very amiable to having one payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint is that I often connect external drives to my systems and in doing so those drives are automatically added. I will then start to receive emails that Drive X is no longer connected and it is not very apparent or easy to tell it to ignore that drive. A nuisance, but not a deal breaker.

The fact that there is no storage limit means I need not worry about losing any files. It can automatically back up all files (including system files), allowing me to restore my entire system from it. The software can intelligently adapt to your bandwidth usage, meaning that it doesn't slow down your internet speeds when using your computer. The website for accessing your files is clear and well designed, allowing you to view all versions of your backup (very useful if you've edited a file). As well as through a download, you can also access your files through a USB, which they will send to you for a small fee. There is also a facility for a private encryption key, ensuring the security of your data on their servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is sometimes a disjoin between pressing the button to start backing up and the program actually beginning the backup process. Although well suited to power users, the interface of the program could be confusing to less advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set it and forget it: this is how you do consumer backup. For $5/month, I have over 3TB backed up of large media files (including image sequences, 300GB ProRes exports, etc.). BackBlaze gets to work uploading as soon as possible, and can use my entire upstream connection to make sure it's uploaded as fast as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if I could backup network shares, but it's not a huge deal. Sometimes I also think that it would be nice to have a better way to backup huge amounts of data: it took nearly 80 days to upload my 3TB of info.

Also, family pricing would be a bonus (maybe 5 computers for $20/month), although the pricing is so reasonable that I don't see too much of a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use. I never have to think about backing up my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not great for coordinating multiple devices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an extremely affordable option for backing up your computers. We have this deployed using domain license. It has been extremely helpful in keeping our workstations backed up without the end user noticing any drop in system performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The management for our domain license could be better. I wish we could adjust schedules for all machines from one location. They do provide usage info, but it's via email instead of a management console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
