As you can see in the backup section of the site, online backup providers have a lot of features (and prices) to compare, and with new providers popping up every minute, the task becomes difficult. Unlimited space is a great selling point for these companies, and Backblaze is very popular on Technically Easy.
It is worth getting a bit of information about these providers, for example what are the features that truly matter to an average user?
I have been backing up my data online for several years now and haven’t had any issues with doing so. I don’t mind backing up my data to the cloud, for a few reasons with the most important being that my data is offsite. The fact that I can restore my data at anytime is also a huge benefit. About six months ago I switched my data backups to Backblaze from Mozy. I didn’t have any issues with Mozy, but their pricing structure changed some time ago and it became too costly for me to keep my data with them, so I went elsewhere.
