"Good stuff."
4/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

It's transparent to me. It seems to work. I never tried to do a restore, but they swallowed a whole lot of data from my PC. Took a while, but now the incremental changes are super quick and do not seem to affect my performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

User interface could use some improvement, but nothing terrible. In terms of the larger product, I'd love if they had better sample script for use with something like Duplicity rather than making us write scripts. Something that pre-cans the standard 24 hourly, 7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly, etc. This can be written up by us, but it would be nice if there was some hand holding.

"Backblaze for Photography backup"
5/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

As a small business owner, Backblaze was a breeze to sign up and set up. It works well with our QNAP NAS, which we use to store our photography. Customer service was helpful when I had questions. I would recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

I haven't had any dislikes to date, although it was slightly challenging to distinguish pricing until after our initial month of using this backup service. I did reach out to customer service with questions, and they did a great job answering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure And Easy Cloud Backup Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

If you want to backup files from your computer then Backblaze is going to do it automatically by itself at night time in the background. It keeps your data safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

The pricing model should be made such that users that are choosing to backup multiple computers get a discount per computer than just paying the same amount as others that have the plan for a single PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backblaze is a no-brainer!"
5/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

I turned to Backblaze to back up my laptop when I needed to have it serviced. I didn't want to risk losing anything--especially not my business files--so I looked around and found Backblaze. I chose it because it was affordable, easy to use, and had been used/recommended by peers in the past. I like how simple it was to set up and how quickly it ran through the initial backup. Now it basically runs itself and the peace of mind I have knowing that nothing on my computer will be lost if something happens is such a relief! I've had a faulty hard drive on a laptop before and lost files in the chaos. Knowing that Backblaze will help me prevent that disaster in the future makes it a no-brainer in my book!

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

I'm sure if I delved deep into the world of backup software, I could find something to dislike with Backblaze. As it is, Backblaze covers what I need it to do... and it does it in a way that's simple for me to use and almost mindless! No complaints here so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backblaze is like a waiter who never interrupts your meal but is always one step away when you need him. I forget I have Backblaze running, but my backups are kept up-to-date, and I've had no problems with my occasional file restores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for backing up"
5/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Easy to back up your computer to the cloud

Set it and forget it - it takes care of everything.

It has a good bandwidth management tool, so it doesn't hog your internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

It is awkward to find the file you want to restore. They could make the restore interface better. Other than that there isn't anything to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Super easy setup and fast reacuring backups, great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Price is a little high, but not too bad when you consider unlimited storage, I wish you could delete things off your computer and save online, but completely understand that it would not be cost effective for them to do it. Really there is not that much that I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good software and offers good features."
4/5
What do you like best about Backblaze Computer Backup?

Installation and configuration was easy. The interface is simple but pleasant, it is easy to use. The support is unlimited and that's great, an excellent quality for the low cost of the product. It is a great advantage that it is always running in the background and that the backups are of good quality. The notifications they give us are very useful, if the backup has not been made on an employee's machine, it shows us a notification and in this way allows us to be aware of the situation and carry it out.

What do you dislike about Backblaze Computer Backup?

The main problem is regarding the payment of the software since it is paid by computer and this is a disadvantage for emergencies or external factors. The support they provide is not of such good quality, they take a while to answer any questions and problems that may arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
