Backblaze Computer Backup Reviews & Product Details

Nothing. In addition to not backuping all the information you want backed-up, making it impossible to turn off Auto-Renew, they are also extremely poor in the billing area - I could never get them to even send me a properly made invoice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Horrible service: doesn't back up all the things you want/need backed-up

No help people: they make it impossible to contact them to get help

Can't get a real properly filled out business invoice

They make it impossible to turn off the auto-renewal

In order to stop auto-renewal you must cancel your account, also permanently deleting all backups - even if you still have a year left on your already paid for subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their B2 bucket service mixed with restic for automating backups of corperate servers and one SAAS companies clustered file system.

One of the companies I set this up in accidentally delete over $100,000 worth of 3D models on a project. I had set up Backblaze with restic to take 24hr snapshots and was able to recover all of their work within an hour.

Their pricing model is awesome. The drive stats that they publish have guided several decisions when implementing storage for clients and my own company. Their pricing is extremely reasonable.

Mixed with restic, the Backblase B2 system is extremely easy to integrate and automate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest I have not found much to dislike. Its very much a fire and forget system. Check your backups to make sure they are being performed properly at least once a month but thats about it.

Deleting or resetting a bucket can take a very long time (well on the order of hours... so its not like its days or anything). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated, I dont' have to think about it, it just works silently in the background Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow upload times - not Backblazes fault, but I don't have full fibre, so it can take a while for backups to complete, if it's a large amount of images for example Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backblaze has enabled us to backup workstations that users save to the local desktop. It ensures all the files are backed up and alerts us of any issues. The reliability is a great comfort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface has not been updated in a while. It looks dated and the features and options are not always working. It can send you to another location when you click on certain tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The personal backup is very the best thing in the universe, it simple to use, the cost per PC is the lowest of all time because it has a big advantage, UNLIMITED storage! It will be nice to see a version for server unlimited, but I can easy understand why it not exists. Also the transparence and stats share from backblaze it awsome and it help everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside it the web interface to restore the backup if you have a lot of data, it a bit slow to use, but just a bit of patience and it work very well. Also the B2 request seems a bit slow compare to other one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backup business files and other data online with Backblaze Personal Backup. It's cloud-based, secure and protected by the same team that runs Backblaze's data centers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easy to set up and maintain. It covers every need for my business without complicated steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the interface won't load correctly, and a refresh is required, but the functionality is still there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
