# One Backup Reviews **Vendor:** SpiderOak **Category:** [Online Backup Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/online-backup) **Average Rating:** 4.2/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 5 ## About One Backup Secure, reliable backup to protect your most important files from data loss and ransomware. ## One Backup Reviews ### 1. Safe, encrypted and convenient backup **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2023 **What do you like best about One Backup?** It is highly secure and very convenient. Best of all, a Linux client is available in addition to clients for Windows and Mac **What do you dislike about One Backup?** SpiderOak apps for smartphones have been discontinued. **What problems is One Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** For my PhD research, I needed a cloud backup service that was totally secure and safe to ensure the privacy of interviewees. SpiderOak ensured that my data was safe, and included versions in case I needed to recover previous versions of documents. ### 2. Best backup tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2020 **What do you like best about One Backup?** The GUI interface seems friendly. Also overall less complex. **What do you dislike about One Backup?** Price of the product. I think the manufacturing company should reconsider the product price. **Recommendations to others considering One Backup:** Easy to use. **What problems is One Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backup transfer to external storage. Faster transfer and easy to use. ### 3. Well-intentioned but problematic backups **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex B. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2019 **What do you like best about One Backup?** I really want to love SpiderOak, they were the first to offer zero-knowledge backup and their focus on privacy is unparalleled. The security is top-notch and they support all platforms. **What do you dislike about One Backup?** The desktop applications are incredibly resource heavy for a backup program even beyond the overhead I would expect for encryption. There is no simple way to prune backups so your backups eventually overfill and you have to manually (yes, using the command line!) prune all the old copies. This is an incredibly stupid design. Sync occasionally breaks for seemingly no reason, re-syncing can take hours to days even on a fast connection. **Recommendations to others considering One Backup:** Ask if you *really* need zero-knowledge backup or if there's some other way to implement that outside of your backup utility itself. **What problems is One Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having too many free system resources and having too few files backed up in a secure fashion. It appears one cannot solve one problem without solving the other. ### 4. One Backup is safe like no other service but expensive **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | Operador de Plataformas PaaS JUNIOR, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2019 **What do you like best about One Backup?** One Backup has extensive functionality to share with excellent synchronization functions. I like that it synchronizes all the files to the folders that I select and at the same time it creates a similar folder in the hard disk that is synchronized there. It also allows me to make backup copies of the files and applications of the system. **What do you dislike about One Backup?** SpiderOak has high costs for its storage with the sole advantage of an unlimited number of users. I think it's the most expensive service I've seen. **Recommendations to others considering One Backup:** This service is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux distributions which is a great advantage. It has excellent tools to store sets of files to backup and then restore. It has incredible security, however, its price is very expensive. **What problems is One Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** One Backup was acquired to make backup copies of files and system applications that occupy a lot of disk space, but nevertheless, its usefulness is important on a day-to-day basis. ### 5. Works well **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019 **What do you like best about One Backup?** This seems to work well. We have had no issues with our backup. **What do you dislike about One Backup?** There could be more training developed for staff **What problems is One Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** We do not lose information - [View One Backup pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/one-backup/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-20+01%3A24%3A31+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=9e4cb179-1c5b-4863-81b6-2ac89713e9d5&secure%5Btoken%5D=0ea19cb90bcbbebf88c8df87bf567f828c53149fec529a2c14c34dd3080bf970&format=llm_user) ## One Backup Features **Functionality** - Real-time Sync - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Versioning - Mobile Backup Application **Management** - Disaster Recovery - Remote Backup - Storage Formats - Scheduled Backups - On-Demand Restoration **Compatibility ** - Disk Backup - Local Backup - Storage Formats **Reporting** - Activity Monitoring - Documentation - Alerts/Notifications **Management** - File Sharing - Security Standards - Encrypted Storage **Security** - Data Encryption - Security and Compliance - Deduplication **Agentic AI - Online Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top One Backup Alternatives - [IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2](https://www.g2.com/products/idrive-online-and-saas-backup-object-storage-e2/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,911 reviews) - [NinjaOne](https://www.g2.com/products/ninjaone/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (4,260 reviews) - [Acronis Cyber Protect](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-acronis-cyber-protect/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (657 reviews)
