Backblaze — Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Offers truly unlimited cloud backup storage for a single computer at a flat, affordable rate.
  • Provides a 'set-it-and-forget-it' automatic continuous backup experience running quietly in the background.
  • Allows recovery of backed-up data via a physical USB hard drive shipped directly to the user.
  • Reliably restores files after system failures or accidental deletions, offering peace of mind.
  • Includes version history, retaining file changes for 30 days by default, with extended options available.

Cons

  • Cumbersome process for excluding specific files or folders from the default 'backup everything' approach.
  • Lacks native support for backing up network-attached storage (NAS) devices or network shares.
  • Files deleted locally are permanently removed from the cloud backup after a 30-day retention period.
  • Initial backups of large data volumes (terabytes) can be extremely slow, potentially taking weeks to complete.
  • No direct integration with File Explorer or Finder for granular file/folder backup management.
