Backblaze Computer Backup

Backblaze Computer Backup is the epitome of simple, unlimited cloud backup for personal computers. Its defining characteristic is a completely hands-off, set-and-forget approach: install it, and it automatically backs up all user data (excluding system files) continuously with no storage limits for a flat monthly fee. The service is designed for absolute simplicity, making it accessible to non-technical users. Backblaze maintains a 30-day version history by default, extendable to one year.

Its recovery options include downloading zip files, receiving a USB hard drive, or a USB flash drive mailed to you for larger restores. While it lacks image-based backup or server support, its value proposition for protecting personal documents, photos, and media is unmatched. It's ideal for individuals, freelancers, and families who want worry-free offsite backup without managing storage quotas. Compared to competitors like Carbonite, Backblaze is often faster, offers simpler pricing, and provides easier physical restore options.
